No, but now I’m very curious about the sheep and will probably have to watch it!

Are you going to be a new SENDCo in September? Are you currently a new SENDCO? I’m going to be running a FREE webinar end of August for anybody who fits this criteria to give you some top tips, to create a mini network and to just help you step into the best job ever! Pls share!

We have a joint membership. As well as accessing places close to where we live, we also have days out freely available to visit when on holiday around the UK. So yes, I would recommend. It just depends on how often you visit places to make sure it’s value for money for you.

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away.

Does that mean a Catholic MAT could open a free school for children with SEND (SEMH focus) for example?

I completely agree that Sean Harford had a positive impact and reassured school leaders to be brave by making the Ofsted myths clear for all.

This is such an important topic for Headteachers to consider. My Deputy and I frequently discuss this. CPD for all schools leaders linked to this topic would be so beneficial.

Families of children with SEND – it’s time to be heard Too many families have to fight when their children have Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND). They have to battle a system that seems not to have been built with their children in mind.…

Families - 6 days left to have your say on how our education system needs to change. More details below. Reposts welcome - thank you.

Of so, could you comment on this thread and I will put together a head teacher starter pack.

I’m really impressed to know there is a MAT that exists to serve so many vulnerable young people.

I found the Assessment without levels days led by Alison Peacock the best CPD, as there was a variety of speakers- Sean Harford, Daisy C, Mary M, and many, many more.

Are there any SLT/ headteachers in primary who have experience of setting up AP? I’m reading AP Huh and would be great to speak further to anyone with primary experience. @marymyatt.bsky.social#HeadteachersUK

Really enjoyed this, thank you, Clare. We plan in habits of discussion in subjects such as history and RE once the substantive knowledge has been taught. We find it’s helpful for assessment of the subject knowledge as well as allowing pupils to practice and develop oracy skills and knowledge.

Just posted new blog on Bluesky and not (yet) on Twitter. Be interesting to see engagement. Will I fold and put it on Twitter too? Please help me avoid the temptation by reposting here!
