My first blog post - all feedback welcome (but be gentle to a first timer 😉)

On curriculum and teams… my thinking heavily influenced by @samgibbs.bsky.social @saysmiss.bsky.social @samcrome.bsky.social and @lekhasharma.bsky.social

I arrive back home from the barbers only to arrive at a variety of boxes filled with glittery items of green, red and gold.

Spent the day at Boulby Underground Lab near Whitby - 1.1km underground. Dark matter searches, neutrino physics, very low cosmic ray and background radiation suitable for (amongst many other things) quantum computing. It’s a pretty unique facility and the mine is remarkable - over 100km of tunnels!

I’ve given up on The Naked And The Dead. All Quiet On The Western Front is a better book on the futility of war. Call me a philistine.

I want a similar AI model to set out what would have happened if neoliberalism had not forced Bristol City into selling Andy Cole to Newcastle Utd in 1993.

Emotional this morning about the loss of Prescott. He hugely inspired my dad, who became a Labour councillor at the age of 50, after years as a bus driver. He gave permission to be in politics, while being your imperfect self, whatever your accent or background.

A lot of common sense coming out of this. 👍🏻
Excited to be publishing a major piece of teacher, parent and student opinion research on the ever-challenging subject of exclusions.
Thanks to the support of @mission44, we were able to carry out what was, I think, the ever biggest exercise of its kind on this subject. 1/10

I’ve come to the conclusion that the essence of great teaching is managing attention.
