Friday night family art session... Daughter tasked Mummy with Sisu the Dragon and me with an 'Is It Cake?' scene. We've had 10mins. One of us is a TA and the other is an Art Subject Lead. Not sure we're playing to our strengths!

Looking forward to sharing our T&L Framework soon! It's turned into a bit of a culture playbook/T&L framework/Induction Doc.

Always ask my TA other-half what she thought about INSET (more specifically my 'delivery'). ...You said 'shit' too many times. Not actually the worst feedback I've ever had!

Given we had a finance meeting to discuss our deficit the week before, this felt a little too much like DfE/STA gaslighting when I read this in the KS2 SPAG paper!

Huge thanks to Andrew Percival and Jess Rennie for hosting our visit to Stanley Road. It was phenomenal. Trying to process everything that we saw and discussed, but at its core, the visit has raised the bar for what I considered possible for our children. Incredible.

‘I’m going to stop you now. This is ridiculous’ Tory chair Richard Holden repeatedly refuses to deny his candidate selection was a stitch-up The senior Conservative was very keen to talk about comments made on schools by Labour's Emily Thornberry

Enjoyed sharing our 'belonging' story with the entire school team. If you own one of these badges, you know that our community has grafted harder than most for generations. You also know why it's so important that we live our values to get it right for our kids 1st time round.

And we’re off! The call for evidence for the curriculum and assessment review is now open, and will be for 8 weeks. As Prof Becky Francis says, this is the chance for a national conversation. Excited to hear the diverse views, insights & expertise of all. gov.uk/government/cal…

We're working on non-core subject leadership this year and we've made great efforts to make sure our intent is clear and systems are cohesive etc All subject info is shared online here (click to see individual subject info) Would love some feedback! quarry.dudley.sch.uk/curriculum/

Handwriting certificates unfair to those with fine motor challenges Sports awards unfair on unathletic Behaviour awards unfair on SEMH needs Academic awards unfair on SEND chn But... Create a culture where you reward all achievement (inc attendance) and its a non-issue!

This year we entered all of the schools we worked with into a raffle to win an IPad. Quarry Bank Primary School were the lucky recipients after being drawn out of a hat. Our MD David met up with Alex Rawlings the head to hand over the prize. A big thank you to all of our schools📸

Haven't tweeted for ages...but we achieved the Holy Trinity of primary accountability measures this week! ✅ SATs ✅ Ofsted visit ✅ LA writing moderation notification Couldn't be any prouder of school. Couldn't hate Ofsted more for the additional stress we endured this week.
