Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

I’d also add that my Y11s are utterly joyful. You know those classes you get who are both hardworking AND loads of fun? That. They also consistently listen and respond to feedback. Plus the boy who doesn’t like writing a plan? Guys, today he planned. He planned. #EduSky

I’ve only ever worked in LA maintained schools - and accident rather than a concerted choice. Can anyone talk to me about how absence management works in a MAT please? Keen to understand differences. #EduSky
