It’s been a happy half term of long beach walks in beautiful Yorkshire and ending with a day trip of sightseeing in London. Lovely memories made. Now the alarm is set …all ready for another half term.

A great final day with my first NPQSL cohort. Our professional discussions have led to a deeper understanding of the roles and responsibilities of senior leaders. A privilege watching participants develop; I’m proud to have been part of this. @bestpracticenet @ElliotSchools

World Teachers’ Day I decided, aged 4, I was going to be a teacher and 21 years into the job I’ve never (well maybe once or twice!) looked back. Thanking all those who have supported, motivated and inspired me along the way ❤️

Brand new @BritishGas boiler fitted three weeks ago. Woke up to water leak coming from it yesterday. 24 hours later sitting at home waiting for engineer. Not what I expected when purchasing a new one @BritishGas

I am most definitely a paper and pen person! My @Headteacherchat planner has been key to my organisation and time management this year. So many useful sections to organise my thoughts and my time. Looking forward to jotting in my 24/5 planner.
'To plan is to believe in a better tomorrow' and don't we LOVE to plan here at @headteacherchat! There's nothing more exciting than seeing something that you have planned come in to fruition. headteacherchat.com/planners… #organised #ofsted #schoolimprovement #schoolleadership

Stopped this morning by a parent of a child I taught 20 years ago Told of the impact I had had on him and how he remembers. Just what I needed to hear right now - we do make a difference and it’s why I do what I do and why I work as hard as I do. #teacher #inspire #lead #educate

Please help if you can - this would be amazing @RoyalFamily @ElliotFndtn
Our Year 1 children @WestwoodPriSch are learning about The Royal Family. They are getting very excited about their trip to #Sandringham in April and are busy planning an Afternoon Tea in DT. What are our chances of surprising them with a Royal visitor? @RoyalFamily @ElliotFndtn
