Today the government, paraphrasing the coroner, chose “Transparency and ease of message” over “teacher welfare”.

If they had to use a single word, we wish they’d chosen ‘Compassion’.

Care of Julia Waters, the words of #RuthPerry , someone we knew, loved and respected:

An absolute joy to catch up with co-author and dear friend Trisha Lee last night to reflect on the past, share what’s happening in the present and talk about future collaborations to support children and young people to find their voices. #TheatreOfPeace #PeaceTalks Cambridge Peace and Education Research Group

Looking forward to returning to @johnrankinschools 2nd week of #TheatreOfPeace #BECOME programme. Particularly excited to be working with all of year six on the #LessonsFromHamlet #oracy project. The two programs are putting the theory from some of my books into action. Cambridge Peace and Education Research Group

To celebrate the birthday of #WilliamShakespeare I have recorded a new version of the 'To be or not to be' soliloquy for schools who are part of (or interested in) the @uctribe #LessonsFromHamlet programme. youtu.be/Nr-dSzevIeo?fe… Dr_Gonzo #101DaysToMakeAChange Crown House Publishing

Flora Emma Kilbey kristinabill Today is day 7 and the quote, coincidentally, is from Hamlet. I’m looking forward to joining you on Friday for the ‘check out’ sessions and to begin to work with your year 6’s on the ‘to be’ speech from Hamlet. #LessonsFromHamlet #TheatreOfPeace Cambridge Peace and Education Research Group @oracy

Flora Next week we’re looking at the value of energy. What do we bring to our relationships with others? #BeKind

Yvie Magee Flora I’m delighted. We’ve created a web page so that parents can see what we’re doing. Here’s the link: undiscoveredcountry.org.uk/the-theatre-of…

We’re also using #storytelling . Next week the story is from my book: Success In The Creative Classroom to look at the energy we bring to our relationships.

No more ‘inadequate’? One-word Ofsted rulings could be ditched thetimes.co.uk/article/no-mor…

First week of the Philosopher's stone. All children have looked at the theme of Bravery (B.E.C.O.M.E.) and thought about what they will 'Keep', 'Develop', and 'Let Go' as a goal for the week. So much talk! Helping children find their voice with Roy Leighton

Looking for someone in Newbury with a trailer? There's a wooden boat up for grabs in Speen to the first person who comes to get her! Our school really, really would love her!
