Can I be cheeky, I hope in a good way? I'd really appreciate any HT/CEO who follows me making their staff aware of thealternativebiglisten.co.uk. What would be great is if you could let them have 10 mins to complete it. We dont have the pulling power of Ofsted so we are relying on you.

Always good to be reminded.

School exclusions mean turning away more children and young people. We should be tuning in to them instead. Attuned teaching matters. leedsbeckett.ac.uk/blogs/carnegie…

Wherever this lands we hear feedback that it is so relevant to now. Being #attuned is so relationally important. Education needs it!

Sharing a pic that resonated in our training session yesterday.

Happy R&R & Recovery & Restoration this Easter break. I know I need it!

Making a little #SpaceToFlourish 💎too.

Debra Kidd Arora replies : Growing up with social media is not a good thing. A TV is very different from SM. I know nothing about parenting but If i had a child they would have a brick phone. They would not be on SM until at least 13 but they could have a brick phone from 7/8 they are ok…

Simon Smith Whilst Letters and Sounds used to be available at no charge.

Simon Smith If it is mandated, there should be a programme that is available for schools to use. For free.

Then leaders and governors are free to use their budgets to buy alternatives, if they want.

It’s a bit like charging schools for the NC2014. Or an Ofsted inspection.

We've just added a new short film to our website - educators The Ely & Caerau Integrated Children’s Centre tell their story & explain the difference Froebelian practice has made to them and the children they work with. Watch it here: froebel.org.uk/case-studies/b…
