Watching #Ambulance on BBC 1 tonight, this episode showed on one shift there was one - yes ONE - advanced paramedic on duty for an entire 12 hr shift across the WHOLE of London. 9 million people. I appreciate other ambulance crews were available, but only 1 with advanced skills!

I’ve been saying this for a long time now - the issues over attendance issues are not purely a school issue. So sad that we are not learning lessons from what has worked in the past. A great article that explains what was done previously to improve attendance.

Not that I do it for a badge and certificate- but glad I can do a small thing to help others in times of need. 🩸💉

My 14 year old son needs to do some voluntary work as part of his DofE. But all the places we’ve enquired say they only take 16yrs +. What have other people’s children done? #DofE #dukeofedinburgh

🚨The DfE has today published the #PupilPremium allocations and conditions of grant information for 2026-26. You can find this information for your school here: ⬇️ www.gov.uk/government/p... #SchoolLeaders #SchoolLeadership #SchoolFunding

This is welcome additional funding - but is just the tip of the iceberg

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Happy New year - hope 2025 is even better than your 2024. Love to all my family and friends. 🥂🥳🎉🎊🎇 #NewYear

This was brilliant- loved Eddie Redmayne in it. Well done @netflix.com

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

So finally govt is going to stop private companies making excessive profits from children’s social care - about time. It’s been a disgrace! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Carried out a reading review at one of our trust secondary schools today. Such a pleasure to see their transformation in 2 yrs. loved how enthusiastic the staff and the students were. #reading #literacy

Great talk by Mark Rogers, VP at Apple, on innovation, leadership and how tech can support education. #CSTConf24

A really poignant and deep set of messages from the inspirational Mo Farah at the #CSTconf2024 #Building what a journey he has been on - and something for us all to take away.

Good start to #CSTconf2024 with keynotes from Bridget Phillipson and Victor Adebowale
