A @TheRestHistory inspired stroll around Fotheringhay Castle with our self confessed history geek son. The Mary, Queen of Scots series was marvellous @holland_tom @dcsandbrook 👏

The perfect example of how a bassist can be the beating heart of a band. A legendary player with Primal Scream, the backbone of The Stone Roses' groove. RIP Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield x

Half term = football trip to Italy. 3 games in 3 days - Atalanta, Roma and AC Milan. The ‘San Siro’ is a special place. Excellent advice @CalcioEngland Grazie.

Our Head of Psychological Research, Rob Nash, explores England’s teacher shortages and why the solution goes beyond recruitment. It’s not just about bringing in more teachers, but about retaining great educators, welcoming back those who’ve left, and tailoring support where it’s needed most.

Hi. Just to clarify. There's no evidence to say 50% of Pupil Premium must be spent on teaching, 25% on targeted support & 25% on wider approaches. Those figures are a guide. Financial spending (& time spent on implementation) should be guided by pupil need, staff need & evidence.

Last month our Early Career Framework (ECF) programme was assessed by @Ofstednews as ‘Outstanding’ overall, with headlines including: ✅The programme “...exemplifies the best of school-led professional development and shapes a generation of reflective, committed ECTs.” ✅A curriculum co-constructed with associate colleges, which “...creates a powerful partnership between national expertise and local insight” ✅Training that is “... extremely responsive to the realities of ECTs’ different contexts, such as the professional isolation sometimes faced in coastal and rural schools.” Read the full report: buff.ly/aOgKyqU #education #ofsted #TeacherTraining

Today’s my last day as Headteacher at Husbands Bosworth CE Primary—and somehow 9 years have gone by in a flash. It’s been such a privilege to be part of this amazing school and community and latterly at Lubenham, St Andrew’s and South Kilworth schools.
