Are you thinking about how team meetings could be more purposeful? Or how you can make focused improvements without spending hours and hours discussing?
There’s a lot of evidence about the power of focused debriefs and their transformational impact!

Father Hendry was a brilliant support to me in my first headship and his sense of humour was brilliant. He’ll be sadly missed by many in the Possilpark community and beyond. May he rest in peace.

As we finished up today, it was time to wave Mrs Afrin off as she leaves her PT post at Kingcase to start as DHT at Dalmilling PS. They’re very lucky to have her coming their way.
Good luck, Lisa! “Soaring to excellence!” ⭐️

Spending time focusing on handwriting means that over time you are actually reducing cognitive load for children allowing them to focus on WHAT to write instead of HOW to write-
Well worth the time and focus ❤️

My youngest nephew turned 18 recently and although I don’t see as much of him as I’d like, it has me reminiscing. He loved our letter formation lessons! 🤣

Great to catch up with some colleagues today, see some of the improvements to our building and give my room a quick sort before the start of a new session. Off to enjoy some sun now. ☀️
