School leadering, Headteachering and other bits & bobs.
I’ve got some of those NPQ whatsits, but not sure that makes me any better than you.
Although I do talk about that a little, in truth I’m more interested in cheese, sausage rolls and pasties.
I started doing that thing where you put some things that have happened in your school that are decent. Anyway, it started as a kind of joke. But it’s actually been a really nice way of capturing all the really lovely stuff that’s been happening. Really chuffed in a non-sarcastic way.

Had some wotsits. But now pulling that strange “got wotsits stuck in my teeth face” as I try to loosen said stuck wotsits.

Worth it.

Morning.

Apparently Radiohead are planning a tour. Allegedly, yet to be confirmed.

Ok (computer).

You know when you have one of those days and it’s like pffftt. That was a day. Well today was that day.

So this world book day lark…loads of local schools seem to have employed BAFTA winning film directors and costume designers. We just read some books, talked about our favourite books and decorated our classroom doors with our favourite reads. The door thing was the only thing not done each day 🤷‍♂️

Been watching that Married in Australia programme on the telly where they marry a stranger.

Yep, they’re all box of frogs crackers.

Watched a bit where one chap had a temper tantrum because his wife has had relations before him. Bizarre fragile little man.

Três dos meus amigos ganharam faixa preta hoje. Tão orgulhoso.

Really do enjoy a Bradley Cooper film on a Sunday night.

This Sunday’s offering is the delightfully whimsical Silver Linings Playbook.

That’s a wrap. Another autumn term in the bag and what an incredible term it has been.

Bit of this today.

Love this view

Just me, the dog and an endless playlist of the finest tunes the universe has to offer.

Also, had a pint of really really strong filter coffee. Bit of a head buzz.

Well got to say what a great week it’s been. Middle of November, loads of great progress made on bits and bats. Had a lovely afternoon with Year 11 on Friday. Not felt this positive in ages.

Is the norm now for parents to make formal complaints against staff when intervening in a scuffle…”you can’t touch my child!”. Well I think I can if they’re having a pop at each other, don’t you think. Had the old my child is a delicate flower excuse.

Had a lovely Ploughman’s for tea last night. Still thinking about how good it was now. Had a really good crumbly cheese. We did some home baked breads as well (with butter). Best Saturday night for ages.

I am 100% certain that iPhone deletes words from some of these posts that I type out.

Been mainly saying “chippy chips” to Year 9 when they’ve been asking me if I chips.
Sir, do you like chips?
Yeh, but only chippy chips.

Had some extra mature posh cheddar on toast this morning. First time for a long time. Is this what it’s like relapsing back into a £500-a-day crack habit?

I’ve had a great week.

Not said that for a long, long time.

Actually feels quite amazing to say it as well, type it to be accurate. You get what I mean.

Morning. Well that week absolutely flew by.

Back in the hot seat. It’s a funny old game this education lark.

Cutting the grass to some absolute bangers. Including this one…

Apparently in the World of Slimmers hummus is banned. It’s a million Sins or something ridiculous, straight to Hell. Do not pass go. So that’s rubbish. And I’m not allowed pizza. That’s banned too.

Really annoyed me.

The tyre fella has over torqued the locking wheel nut bolt which has stripped the locking wheel nut unscrewer thingy. So that’s good.
