Schools to run anti-misogyny classes for boys in bid to tackle toxic masculinity Children at primary and secondary schoo will learn how to navigate difficult emotions and the lessons will have a focus tackling sexist content spread online

So much to add to this small snippet of a 30 minute interview. Perhaps a blog post? Sch culture has to have strong values & clear messaging.

“The narrative that we need to portray to young men is that they are the solution, not the problem.”

Ultrasound - high frequency. Cat's purring - low frequency.

Warmth from Errol's body acting like a heat pack would be my guess.

Did you know that Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock move "Speed" had no director?

If it had direction, it would've been called Velocity...

Those in Burnham are most defensive of it not being a suburb!

I lived there, went to school there, worked there.

Reputation is largely deserved. Glad I moved back up north.

Much to sit back and reflect on over a cuppa and bacon cob this morning. Tunes on Spotify providing the soundtrack.

Blessed. Have a great weekend, #edusky

I'm not a historian, but have happily listened to @michaeldoron.bsky.social talk about history education. Well worth going to this!

Tightropes Revisited: Enjoyment is finding the right balance. - Clive Hill With a looming curriculum review that doesn't actually involve many classroom teachers, we need to consider what will have the positive effect of keeping young people in education. We don't need a cur...

New blog post. Influenced by what we've been doing to improve student self-efficacy through Careers in the pastoral framework. Here's an alternative to the curriculum merry-go-round that'll increase teacher workload for no real student gains.

Nowt profound to share. 2024 has been kind. I've found time to do things I love, with those I love. From bike builds and trips away, to theatre trips (both stage and hospital), I've been blessed.

Hope 2025 has great things on store.

Happy New Year 🥳

Lost in the time-warp that's the end of the year. Brie, crackers and jalapeño jam.

That's the post.

Merry Christmas!
May your lives be full;
of the joy family & friends bring,
of love & the peace that it holds,
of adventure & discovering the world,
of a sense of purpose & the gift of helping others.

To full bellies, full lives, & full hearts!

'To absent friends'

Thinking of those whose lives changed. Still passing on the lessons learnt and wisdom bestowed in schools.

Always remembered, just a little more today.

In ancient Rome, there were four common poison types.

Poisons I, II and III were lethal, and killed within hours or even minutes.

Poison IV just made you itchy.

Careers assemblies this week. Y11 & 10 have local colleges in talking about T-levels and vocational courses.

Me? I'll be talking about ikigai and how we grow toward happiness in our professional lives. Embracing change & making your own path is part of careers.

Lads day out at motorcycle live. Great to meet the Machine Shop team. Oisín smashed out a weld that makes me wonder whether engineering's genetic! Thanks for putting the biggest smile on his face.

Well, if we go to war with Russia, can my HT refuse to sign my LOA form due to a lack of cover?
