Teachers are now eligible for a Blue Light Card. My boy has one due to working in NHS. The website is rather busy at the moment but, fellow teachers, make sure you get yours as they are really worth it. (Before anyone asks I don’t know)

If they made Back to the Future now with the same time scales Marty would go back to 1994

Here is the montage BBC Sport aired at the end of their Olympics coverage.

Great montage … that is first assembly back at school sorted - bbc.com/sport/olympics…

Flamborough Head Lighthouse late last night.

To every secondary headteacher colleague - I know just how you are feeling this evening. Hang in there - you have worked hard, your staff have worked hard and your students have worked hard. Make sure you recognise every success and give yourself the credit you deserve….

Dear parents, This year, like every year, we will do our best. We will care for and look after your child, help nurture them and teach them new things. Sometimes, we might get it wrong. We won’t mean to. That doesn’t make us bad people, it makes us human. Yours, School staff

Congratulations to all Y11 picking up GCSE, BTEC and other qualification results today. My last results day as a head but your first steps to your future. You will always carry your school days and use that foundation to work hard, aim high and do good. #ThisIsJustTheStart

That was fuckin' wild! Thank you so much to all the Sheffield folk and people from further afield who made the effort to make it such a boss day and for honouring us with your time and love.

Paging HYWEL ROBERTS😀🦈

Brilliant evening…

For all who are honing their ‘teacher voice’ ready for the term ahead …

Very best wishes for the new school year to all colleagues leading, teaching, guiding, supporting, administrating, financing, cooking, cleaning, maintaining and everything else. You all do a wonderful job, together and will make a difference to countless young people.

Good luck to everyone starting back today. Still miss the buzz some twenty-five years after leaving the classroom. Best job ever! Take care and remember your work-life balance is not only important to you but to those closest to you as well.
