AI is making dealing with complaints and SARs incredibly difficult. Send gin.

Happy half term, all. I'm reminiscing about watermelon mojitos after a Triglav adventure.

If all else fails, support a mate doing an ultramarathon on the coast path in gale force winds.

In Scotland. It's rained almost constantly. We've abandoned every walk we've started. But I've just manged a dip in a brief spell of sunshine and all is forgiven.

Can we collectively get crappy papers to stop sensationalising ofsted reports and then let a minority of parents have an absolute field day in the comments section, acting as if this is the first time they've seen results or had an opportunity to comment? Ofsted process was fair, this isn't. Grrr.

Bonkers day. Drowning in work. Sunny walk with the eldest this evening has made everything better. Outdoors is magic.

Simply *repost* this post for your chance to win.

I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

Half term reset.

An Ofsted hangover is quite a thing, isn't it?

My two were genuinely excited to see their beloved Bunny vs Monkey in Spanish supermarkets @jamiesmart.bsky.social I thought this was pretty cool.

I was very kindly gifted this book by @hywelroberts.bsky.social and I am just getting stuck in. A great mix of real-life analogies, humour and inspiration for whole-school cultural change. Thank you, Hywel.

I hate my boys getting bigger but we just played a game of tennis which, to the untrained eye, possibly looked like a game of actual tennis. Tell me more good things about kids becoming teens...

It would be such a travesty for this facility to have to close. I've taken school groups here and the work they do is life changing. Please share far and wide with anyone who may be able to help. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/exmoor-cal...

Always thought provoking. We have a huge attainment gap currently and must do better.
