Haven't popped onto X for a while as #sbltwitter no longer seems to be a thing, but reading through old posts has really reminded me how much I loved this community during covid, also a great reminder of some wonderful memories in work and times I've felt really appreciated. ❤️

Growing up British-born Chinese, CNY wasn’t acknowledged in schools—I often shied away from it. It makes me so happy to see more schools now embrace it! My kids proudly share their culture, something I wish I had growing up. A beautiful sign of progress in diversity & inclusion.

Nothing beats a good morale boost and a bit of staff appreciation to keep you going—especially when you're endlessly juggling as a primary school business manager! Who else can relate? #SchoolBusinessManager #SBMLife #JugglingAct

Decided to finally go through daughters' Y6 books and came across the page 🥲 forever juggling work and home life, and then seeing this reminds me why I do it 🥰 Gave my tweenager a big cuddle ❤️ #sbmlife #schoolbusinessmanager

Typical! Every half term seems to be spent in a hospital! Except this time, it's in Hong Kong, and the rest of the family are on their way to the airport we're stuck behind 😫 could only happen to me! Last time, I was grateful for the NHS. This time, it's Travel insurance! 😌

All our EYFS staff complete an online 6-hour paediatric first aid course, and then we pay a premium to send out 4 key staff on an official 2 day training course (6hr online, 6 hour practical) 1/2

We have a large school hall where we do parent presentations and staff training in, the hall is large, and if there is chatter, it is hard to hear the speaker sometimes. Send ideas for a solution this way, please 🙂

Trying to decide whether hospital dinners are better or primary school dinners are better 🤔 Can't complain though, we have been very well looked after for the past 2 days! Grateful to the NHS for taking care of my daughter and putting a very worried mummy's mind at ease 🥰

Had my 1st secondary school parents evening exp this wk, amazed how efficiently it all was; every teacher I met fired out all the info I needed to know. They gave lots of positive praise and still had time to answer my questions... and all kept within their 5 min slot! Impressed!

Funding help! Looking for a grant that will help to fund Gymnastics for a ks1 pupil, who is a young carer and known to children services, under child in need. Can anyone help to guide me the right direction? If not, where do you all look for grants? Thanks #sbmtwitter @SBLconnect

Were a 2fe primary with 70 staff. How do you streamline all your site/cleaning requests from all your staff? Currently getting it via all mediums, with different messages to different staff. How do you manage and priorities all your requests?
