Headteacher of the primary school I went to when I was little. Worked here for over 20 years and still love it. We were evacuated 16/01/23. Can’t wait to be back together as one school. Also love books.

Crazy week. I thought I’d sleep all weekend but instead I’m cleaning my house like I’m possessed.

Here we go with day 2 of the inspection. Haven’t needed to call on St Jude yet.
My main concern at this point is that the team will organise a trip to the pub tonight when I will definitely just want my pjs.

The school has never been cleaner and the displays have never been straighter.
I have also never had so much coffee by 5:26.

Up early doors. When work feels a lot my husband suggests a long walk. He’s so right, it’s good for wellbeing. But I’ve stated my boundaries again …. For me that walk looks like sticking to a path that ends in a roast. Not an extreme sport version, off road, where I fear for my life. Wish me luck!

Yeah so I was just on The One Show! Got to visit a brilliant school in Barrow and talk about the amazing LICAF-led Comic Town initiative there, and how great comics are for getting kids reading (and writing and drawing!). It’s on iPlayer here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Reaching for the lucozade because I’ve got a cold. Arguably less healing powers when it’s not in a glass bottle wrapped in cellophane.

Got quite a bit of work to do this weekend. Linkin Park Faint is the perfect hype track for the job.

No one would be tracking the speaker if the blinds were left open in our classrooms.
That makes a trip to the staffroom to watch the diggers by far the most popular reward at school right now.

Today I managed to attend a really great training session, in a city, without incident.
Only to then have a very unfortunate auto correct situation via WhatsApp, with another headteacher, whilst on the train home.

Can’t sleep. My confidence has strict geographical boundaries.
After school tomorrow I’m heading to Birmingham for training on Thursday.
Confident and secure at home but the second I leave my town absolute fish out of water.

There are lots of views about how to improve our education system. Not enough of them focus on the classroom. We pursue big structural solutions, when we should be looking at how to create calm, quiet, peaceful classrooms.

Calm, quiet, peaceful lessons
In the pursuit of a better education system, rather than large-scale reform, we should start by improving teaching in every classroom.
