I feel you and I may be looking through a slightly different lens of working in the sorts of settings where every kid does need *something* but it ain't necessarily that (not me at the moment but I did a good shift in SEMH)

That was the line that jumped out at me too 😂

If you added up everything that can supposedly be fixed in society with a PSHE lesson, you’d probably have enough to write a new verse to the tune of “we didn’t start the fire”.

We've gone back to moving them round and now have some Mondays 😬 also meaning that last year we had Ofsted Tues and Weds with parents eve on the Tuesday night. Thursday is the best!!

"idiots can do well" 😂

I'll accept one less microscope from the Bank of Brett money if that helps to fund it 😂

Are they on Centre Services? I think 2025 papers are still hidden away in there, sciece are anyway. Resources - assessment and training then into the subject menu if so

Have always hated the phrase (if not the concept behind if used sparingly). It's been around a long time but I can't remember why it first became a buzz phrase? Would have been 2012 ish I think if I work back to the first head I can remember using it

I didn't read it that way either, just that it has to be part of the curriculum offer in every school. I still think it's going to cause issues with staffing and also not help as much as the govt thinks it will though.

I used to take kids to do fieldwork on the Cotesbach estate!

Interesting additional aspect of this one (I used to live in a neighbouring const). The lib dem candidate that was elected was Labour when we lived in the area, very proactive and well thought of local candidate but interesting party change

Always used to go for lunch on a Friday, go back and do form and last lesson then back down the pub til whenever. Our tech used to phone our food order through for us 😂

I was thinking exactly that. For the youngsters to get an insight into how it used to be 😂
