What a superb day I’ve had visiting Barrowford Primary today. I’ve felt welcomed, included and privileged to hear about (and see!) the fantastic work on behaviour approaches, curriculum innovations, culture, and so much more. Thank you so much @rachtomlinson.bsky.social and the Barrowford team!

This week (and the end of last) have really given me some great opportunities for reflection, dissection, analysis and review. The power of coaching, networking and connection really can’t be underestimated in the way it can support you!

So my ‘thing’ on the bird app is to post a daily inspirational quote. This either reflects my current mood or pushes me to what I want that to be for the day. How do we feel about that? Are you ‘re-inventing’ or doing the same as you did over here? All thoughts welcome!

Some thoughts about using #bluesky for newbies ... * fill out your bio * post (even into the void) * check out feeds * block don't feed trolls * like and repost as you pass through There isn't the same algorithm here so we make the weather. 😊
