Popping to the toilet at work would seem to be a perfectly normal part of life. Unless you're a teacher.
Teachers have cast iron bladders. Until they don't.
In #perimenopause and #menopause the tissue of the bladder can change. So we need to talk about loos! #edutwitter #WomenEd

Today is 'We Jump the World Day' in celebration of Parkour. For those of us with less energy, a study from The University of Manchester showed that 30 jumps, 3 times a week was enough to improve bone health and help prevent osteoporosis after #menopause #perimenopause #edutwitter #WomenEd

Warning: incoming rant! Roads are our most visible shared resource. Whether we're in a chauffeur driven Rolls or a 20 year old jalopy. Whether we're ferrying children or hauling goods for a multinational. Every pothole symbolises how little our shared resources are valued.

New blog! The first thing to do to support your colleagues in #menopause and #perimenopause is to talk about it. That's how you begin to build a culture where everyone feels comfortable talking about it can reach out for support #edutwitter #WomenEd menopauseinschools.co.uk/2024/04/27/10-…

#Perimenopause often shows up when we least expect it - and it almost never looks the way we thought it would. If we can alert our staff as to what to look out for, and to the kinds of support that are available - then we can help stop things escalating. #edutwitter #WomenEd
