It might be the weekend but I couldn’t resist a trip to the TES SEN Show today!

My husband was also in London for a work event so the baby got dragged along too 😊

My event happened to be significantly more baby-friendly so I got a little mate for the afternoon, nabbing all the best freebies 🫧

We often speak about the value of relationships at @goldenthreadpsych.bsky.social, especially with our contract schools.

Reflecting on my day, this couldn’t be more true today. My highlight of the day was an unexpected visit from a SENCo with her 2 week old baby 🥰 Welcome to the community!

Having a bit of “me time”! Popping out to meet an old friend, grab some dinner & head to the theatre ❤️

Feels so odd not to have a baby or work laptop in tow (my husband confiscated my computer as I walked out the house!)

Enjoying a rare opportunity to look out the window & feel grounded 🌳

☕️ 🎪 ✨ Well that was a lot of fun!

Absolutely loved our #PositiviTEA session today with festival vibes (including headgear) to warm up for #epfest2025 with inspirational input from @edpsydan.bsky.social on sharing an abundance mindset, fostering hope and being change-makers 🌟

Im officially a Finalist for a Special Award at the #WomanWhoUK Solopreneur Awards 2025!

6 months ago, I couldn't have imagined being in the position I'm in right now. It's all so exciting & I've got so much more to learn. Bring it on!

In the words of Mabel, "Listen to those who say you can"! 😄

Brief pause from sending emails and typing up planning meeting minutes to watch the #TourOfBritain2025 cycle race zoom past my back gate 🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Not your average Friday lunchtime! 😂

So many exciting things to come over the next year! And I’m adding to the list every day 😊

You can take the director out of the CIC but you seemingly can't take the CIC values out of the director!

Although Golden Thread is a ltd company, community remains at the heart of what we do & we're always interested in ways we can support CYP FoC.

Here's some of the things we have planned!

As someone who has to check the answers for Pattern Construction on the BAS (every time! Honestly, zero spatial awareness here), I’m feeling pretty proud right now.

Meeting table ✅
Chairs ✅
Small desk ✅
Larger desk ✅

Just the cupboard and bookshelf to go! (Calling in reinforcement for those 😬😂)

The flat pack has arrived! 📦 Who doesn’t love lugging boxes up to the first floor office on one of the hottest days of the year 🥵

Now for the fun bit. Any DIY experts on hand to offer me some tips?! 🪛🔨

When I reflect on the jobs I’ve had (and the jobs I’ve left), a recurring theme that comes up for me is my mental wellbeing.

Today I thought I’d best check out a potential venue for @goldenthreadpsych.bsky.social’s future social.

And… relax!

It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it! 😊

This is very niche but also cool! I was so excited when Carrie Grant (of Fame Academy fame but also a truly inspirational advocate for SEND & ND children & families) spoke to me at a conference & said she had a copy of my book. It’s the little things! 💛

Woohoo! 🎉 Made it to the top of my report mountain 🏔️ Final report of 2024/2025 signed, sealed and delivered! (Well… sent via secure email, but you get the idea)

I was going to use a mountain gif to accompany this post but instead, here’s my wonderful Mum & Dad standing on top of a real mountain 💛

After a long day at work, there’s nothing better than snuggling down for the evening with a glass of wine, square of chocolate and cuddles from the dog 🐶

Only 2 days of term left - teaching staff, you’ve got this! 🌟

I’ve always believed in the importance of teaching about individual difference& the power that knowledge can bring to these situations. This is why I volunteered to become a #LEANS Champion & today has reinforced why I’d love to see the LEANS curriculum being rolled out in every school!

But tonight it’s made me realise how truly isolating it must be for parents with the “naughty” child. The one where the other children (or worse still, other parents!) say “oh, we don’t play with them, they’re naughty!”
