Getting every kid reading in primary school is one of the most important things that teachers and leaders can do.

It took me about an hour and a half to complete the Ofsted consultation. Make sure you clear the space to do it. Only school leaders understand the impact of these proposals on the well-being of school leaders. Don’t let others speak for you about your lived experience. @headsroundtable.bsky.social

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.
