🍃Connection before correction🍃 Always separate a child from a behaviour and let them know they are loved, cared for unconditionally and will be held to account for their choices. Relational practice alongside rules, routines and boundaries is what our young people need 💜

On International Children’s Day, remember that for a child to learn, they need to feel safe, loved and trusting of others. What do you do in your classrooms and schools to provide such an environment? #nurture #beyourbestself 💜

To all those parents that have kiddies sitting KS2 SATs next week… ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Their results do not define them ⭐️⭐️⭐️ They are more than a number or scaled score ⭐️⭐️⭐️ They are spectacular individuals in their own right

OFSTED reflections from this week... 3 deep dives all at the same time taking all senior, middle leaders and some teachers off the floor- definatley not 'typicality'. Days 8am to 6pm not aligned to parents, especially single parents and childcare hours. Outdated!

Nurture isn’t a room, restorative isn’t just a set of questions, kindness isn’t weakness and exclusion isn’t a behaviour strategy

Parents evening for the two minis this evening - smashed it 🌟🌟 Was I bothered about attainment? No. Was I concerned about SATs prep? No. Did I love the fact that they’re both amazing humans with big hearts who help others and care for the world they live in? You bet 🌟🌟💜💙
