So, yesterday, someone came into my daughter's vet practice with 3 kittens that had been abandoned in a box by the side of a road - too small to be left, so she's had to bring them back to her flat. Suddenly, everyone in the family wants a cat!

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub, Week 1 almost done! It's been a great first week back - managed to get to all 11 of our WHP Trust schools and all had such a positive feel. Now ready for the weekend - whatever you're doing, have a good one!

This documentary from 2017 by Deeyah Khan was mentioned at our Trust training day yesterday, so found it on YouTube. It's an incredibly powerful example of the way reprehensible and dangerous views can be challenged and changed through dialogue. A brilliant piece of filmmaking.

So much for the weather forecast! A beautiful day down at Attenborough Reserve and Beeston Marina

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub, back for Week 2! Monday is my meeting day, so stacked up today with 1:1s and team meetings - whatever you're doing, have a good one!

Not really one for patriotic displays of pride, but if there's one thing that makes me proud of being British, it's this:

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub, definitely feels like autumn has arrived here in the East Mids. One of my school visits has been unexpectedly postponed so I have a bit of planning time today - need to use it wisely! Whatever you're doing, have a good one!

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub, hope your week's going well - summer definitely feels like a long time ago! It's a meeting, briefing and paperwork sort of day for me today, before school visits start in earnest tomorrow - whatever you're doing, have a good one!

probably won't get a great deal of publicity, but this is a big deal and needs to handled well - major implications for the way that schools and academies are funded and their financial performance scrutinised

Scrolling through THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS posts on twitter has got to be one of the best ways to spend half an hour - absolutely hilarious 😂

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub - Thursday already! Spending the day in one of our schools talking about all things Writing - should be good! Whatever you're doing, have a good one!

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub - it's Friday 13th! Out and about all day on school visits to finish the week on a high - whatever you're doing, have a good one!

I love my job, but still feels pretty good to get to Friday night! Have a great weekend!

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub, hope your Monday's shaping up well. Looks like a full week ahead, starting with a day of line management and finance meetings - sounds exciting! Whatever you're doing, have a good one!

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub! Meeting up with all our Trust HTs this morning for our first Academy Leaders meeting of the year - really looking forward to seeing everyone and hearing how term has started. Whatever you're doing, have a good one!

Morning all #teacher5oclockclub, feels like it's already been a long week and it's only Wednesday! Looking forward to spending the day with the English department at one of our schools - should be good! Whatever you're doing,have a good one!

If you bought a car for your driving school, do you think you'd be able to request a different number plate?
