Frantically searching for the “please leave me alone” cup

Really chuffed to announce that Punk Leadership, with an introduction from Iesha Small, an afterword by HYWEL ROBERTS😀🦈 and a foreword by the legend that is Captain Sensible will be published by Sage Education this autumn. #PunkLeadership

It’s time to turn the page on fourteen years of Conservative decline with a Labour government that will breathe new life into our high streets.

I bloody love ⁦Private Eye Magazine⁩ 😍😂😍😂

I enjoyed some of the best leadership CPD ever 6 years ago today. A week at Apple HQ in Cupertino with headteacher colleagues SSAT.

Another day exploring the beautiful Hebden Bridge region. We have it all to ourselves mind thanks to the weather. 🌧️👍🏻

I’ve just been offered a ‘great PR opportunity’ to speak at an event attended by some of the biggest UK brands, where tickets range between £700 to £1400, FOR FREE. I am 20 years into my career, have written five books and won awards for my work - when will this nonsense stop?

Bit of a Happy Valley homage today. If you recognise these filming locations you are my kind of people. #HebdenBridge

My old neighbour is a Christian, I invited him & his church friends to the mosque. We shared a cuppa & a bite to eat. They all said a prayer for us before they left after a good chin-wag. Learn some history & you’ll find we’ve been doing this sort of thing for centuries

I reckon that’s me done…

4pm on a Friday. Time to light the gas.

Keegan conveniently forgetting that the tories have previously closed down over 1400 Sure Start centres.

We can make collages too.

Anna Fazackerley She is not a victim she is the engine of her own destruction. She is arrogance without ability, ignorance without compassion, hubris without humility. But thankfully, she is the past, a ubiquitous obliquity, a fading echo of malevolence bouncing around empty school corridors.

And they wonder why Ofsted is such a toxic brand and have lost the trust of the profession. theguardian.com/education/2024…
