Taking the annual campaign for it to be acceptable for men to wear shorts to work to a new level with this little BBC article. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Still can't believe we pulled off a school trip to New York, this is blowing the kid's minds (although they're now a bit tired after 26,000 steps). Anything really is possible when you Dare To Dream. 🌟
Just had one of the most emotional days of my career. A school trip across the pond is a whole other level unlocked – jet lag, skyscrapers, new friendships & kids seeing a whole new world for the first time. Their faces said it all. This is what Dare to Dream is all about. 💙🌎

It might have taken a long drive through the night in the school minibuses to get there, but taking the kids to see the sights and make some memories in London was absolutely worth it. Can't beat a good school trip.
Found these bad boys hidden in a bag of stuff that has needed sorting for months and honestly think it may be better than finding a tenner.
Very proud to be an ADHD UK ambassador - when I finally got my ADHD diagnosis, everything suddenly made sense. Now, I want to use my voice to increase understanding, raise awareness & help others feel seen. 💜
The classics never go out of style. The things we loved as kids still have magic - our kids just need the chance to discover it.
Very happy with our brand new virtual tour of school - feel free to have a walk around. We love having visitors if the real world is more your thing.

Would imagine it's every school in be country and, like most places, we're running out of stuff to cut back on. It's so sad to have to dismantle some of the brilliant things you've put in place, just at the time we need them most. It's not just the kids who suffer, it's everyone.
Love this photo - so many people have no idea just how beautiful the north east is.
This would have my full support - most people have no idea how bad the funding situation in schools has become. The data I have suggests it gets even worse next year....
I am so disappointed to admit this, but we now need a powerful, collective response to the school funding situation in 2025-2026. @ascl-uk.bsky.social @naht.org.uk
Better together. Our children and their teachers have made enough sacrifices over the past 5 years.
Have neglected this place for a while, forgot just how much nicer it feels to the other one.
Genuinely shocked how much better I feel without it on. Makes you think....!
May have to invest in that colour - it's a beaut!

...1) we hear lots about toxic trios, but what of the trio of impulse control difficulties, demand avoidance and shame?

Completely misunderstood in most sectors of education and at the root of nearly every exclusion in the country in one form or another

Children are destined to struggle with...
Smashed my Apple Watch last week and turns out to be an absolute blessing - not missing the distracting notifications on my wrist and the feeling of being wired in to the grid.
After months of slowly weaning off anti-depressants & finally being off them (nobody talks about this bit & so much more), it feels like the right time to share that I’m now a proud
Lancashire Mind Ambassador. Hope to use my voice to make a difference & help others. #ItsGoodToTalk
Take note Environment Agency - you know it's come to something when you get an Easter Egg entry like this about the local landfill - STOP THE STINK!!!
Not exaggerating when I say our kids playing a part in Stopping The Stink is one of the proudest moments of my life. Don't ever underestimate the huge power of little voices - anything really is possible when you #DareToDream.
