A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

Sending love to the lonely and to those finding times tough; sending love to those who are in pain, and all the people sleeping rough. Sending love to everybody missing somebody this year; sending love to everyone not full of festive cheer.

You cannot punish & exclude pupils into behaving well, or you will continue to play whack- a-mole. This fuels resentment & creates a breakdown in pupil relationships, which is at the heart of so many challenges in education. You teach skills to change troublesome behaviour.🧠🌱

The Story That Trauma Tells.
If we infused trauma informed / responsive approaches into our education systems, this would help us understand the stress response system to help our young people deactivate these defensive manoeuvres that ensure their survival.🧠🌱

Pupils from chaotic environments cause the hippocampus to shrink. A smaller hippocampus can't stand up well to an overactive amygdala,which leads to overwhelming emotions.Attainment becomes difficult until we teach them new skills to manage & respond to emotional experiences.🧠🌱
Are you a parent of Neurodivergent children/child? If you have a spare 20-30 minutes to fill in this form that would be amazing

Yes, & why
outdated ideas about consequences that do not work anymore because they miss out on what is actually happening. When we use punishment/isolate,we are actually teaching pupils that big feelings lead to disconnection rather than helping them with co-regulation skills🧠🌱
Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was

Diverse student needs call for diverse solutions 🧠 Schools that centre inclusion excel in addressing the diversity of student needs.
In our webinar 'Building Capacity' we outline several factors that can help build capacity and support student needs.

We all know young people are not the same. Different lives, different brains & different needs ,yet some schools treat them as they are chronologically & not developmentally.A child might br 12 but had the neuropsychological infrastructure of an 8 yr old.Think stage not age 🧠🌱
