Tonight in Bolton. Kind of returning the favour for my dad as he took me to see Marillion at the Apollo when I was about 12.

The whole Ofsted charade reminds me of the thing we teach to children: Listen to understand, reflect and build, rather than listen until it’s your turn to speak. #edusky

Not read a book in a while but heard @daisychristo.bsky.social talking about this on a podcast and ordered it immediately. 👌

This report draws from a huge range of experience & evidence & accurately describes the reality of school leadership in 2025

Essential reading.

Especially for senior leaders at Ofsted.

Spent a sizeable portion of my student grant on a guitar and lessons back in 1993. One of the best decisions I ever made… and I’ve ’paid it forwards’ by teaching dozens of Y6 pupils to play, over the years. #music #acousticguitar

I’m hopeful and optimistic about this platform. And connecting with positive, helpful people like Ed and @michaelt1979.bsky.social was the only reason I stayed at the other place. So no need to be there now! 🙂
I'm seeing a LOT of people née to the platform this morning.
Which is BRILLIANT.
Welcome.
Here's a thread of a few tips. None of them my idea and I'm sure you see lots of other threads like this. Hope it helps.
