I'm after some funding info, please. Do any of my lovely connections know if/how schools can apply for funding to support a KS2 child with Disability Living Allowance? Many thanks. #sbm #sbl

Such a great conference today, covering everything from marketing, to HR, AI, parental complaints, sustainability, Ofsted, and all points inbetween! Can't wait for the next event!

What is it like to be married to a narcissist/psychopath/coercive controller? 1. Scary. You know they will punish you if they are not happy with you. They sometimes suddenly launch into a powerful rage. 2. Hurtful. They put their wants and needs first. They sabotage things that make you happy. 3. Confusing. They sometimes say and do nice things. 4. Abusive. They might physically hurt you or remove access to money or rape you or scream at you or stand over and yell at you for hours about reasonable requests or compromise your children. 5. Frustrating. They often block, delay or postpone decisions that are important to you. 6. Confidence-reducing. They demean, belittle and minimise you and your needs and points you make. 7. Lonely. They often control who you can see or make your relationships with others difficult. There is no such thing as real partnership. 8. Anxiety-inducing. You often know they are lying but they never acknowledge it so you are in a constant state of wondering and second guessing. Fact is, they are always leading a double life. They leave things until the last minute, rearrange plans, get you to do a lot of work then ignore the results, take actions that ensure you are always on egg shells. 9. Soul destroying. You do things to keep the peace, none of which support you. 10. Isolating. You don’t really know how to tell people what you are experiencing. Have I missed any?

Good to see @BBCSpringwatch back. Orange tip butterflies might be struggling nationally, but they are mating in the Staffordshire Moorlands this week #springwatch

Seeking advice for colleague, please #sbms. Do you still use apprentices to support/cover office/admin roles? Do you recommend? Pitfalls? Best way to go about it? School has used apprentices in past, successfully remaining post-training. But new #sbm in role hence asking. TIA

Can my lovely MAT contacts please support Helen with her research into sustainability, for her MA?

Following the Coroner's 'Prevention of future deaths' report, about Ruth Perry's suicide, inspections should be paused until Ofsted can demonstrate that they can inspect with enough empathy to ensure that this never, ever, happens again. RT, if you agree.

We have lost a fierce advocate, a compassionate supporter, an inspirational leader. A generous, big hearted man. Rest in peace, Sir Tim Brighouse, you will be sorely missed from this world.

Had such a productive week, especially with my growing number of mentoring sessions. I love mentoring - supporting people to grow in their understanding, effectiveness, confidence, and job satisfaction. Yep, definitely been a good week 😊
