The disconnect between education & socialcare is WILD. I’ve seen great practice but recently horrendous communication/reluctance to escalate despite growing concerns from school. ‘At least you’ve tried’ does NOT wash with me 😡 #safeguarding#Teaching#TEACHers#Teachersof𝕏
If you’re sat with overwhelming Sunday night fear. Stressed & emotionally exhausted I see you. You can do this. Deep breath. If you want out, there’s a way. If you don’t, know your worth & believe in yourself! You ARE enough & you ARE a good teacher! #teachersofx#Teachersof𝕏
While Ofsted is not publishing full responses to its consultation on proposed inspection changes, a survey launched by former senior inspectors reveals what the sector really thinks

Well done Ofsted for that utter pigs-ear of a new framework.
The Big Listen was obviously a Big Ignore.
It takes some doing to take something bad and make it worse.
If you’re struggling with going back/doomscrolling through the ‘look at my amazing classroom’ ‘I’m super organised’ or ‘here’s how to…’ posts. Remember you don’t have to be perfect. Insta content isn’t what makes a good teacher- your best is more than good enough! #Teachersof𝕏
Primary uniform needs to be affordable. We need to bin off these specialist shops. You should be able to get it from a local supermarket and it to last. Also super comfy for them to wear for most of the day.
INSET Days:
Personally, I don’t need inspirational speakers, team building exercises or 2 hours to go through a handbook.
I want:
-Effective CPD
-Opportunities to meet with teams/staff
-TIME (to plan & prepare)
What’s your dream INSET Day? #education#Teachersof𝕏#teaching
The propaganda around #schoollockdowns is horrendous & pedalling the idea that educators are complicit in ‘grooming’ or ‘brainwashing’ chn to scare/control them is vile. If you’ve got questions about policies ask- don’t believe the wannabe influencers on TikTok 👀 #education
Fab to see so many YP celebrating & to see the support for those who didn’t get what they wanted/expected. Can’t help but feel for colleagues who are struggling with the stress of data drops/marked down results. I’ve seen many saying the pressure is just too much #GCSEResultsDay
This year’s GCSE results have been released, showing:
🔸 Overall grades have held steady
🔸 A small fall in English and maths pass rates
🔸 A small narrowing in the regional divide and gender gap

Took a HUGE break from socials ‘coz let’s be honest it’s the WORST place in the world when you’re going through tough times. Slowly moving forward so decided it’s time to dip my toe back in… what did I miss educators? #education#Teachersof𝕏#teaching
It’s important when dealing with safeguarding to be aware of the impact disclosures can have on you. Even the act of acknowledging tough times is helpful. I had a tough one today. Super tough. We do our very best though don’t we? #safeguarding#TeachersOfTwitter#Teachersof𝕏
A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK
“Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home.
