We have an error on our IDSR ) cohort size for last years year 6. IDSR say it’s a DFE issue. Has anyone had this & how did you solve it?

It’s not but I was questioning that also so….🤷🏻‍♀️ the actual problem is they have our cohort size for last years year 6 wrong, which is affecting the percentages

My daughter has come back to live after uni.She should be having the time of her life with her dream job , but with no friends living locally she’s really lonely. Any ideas how I can help? So sad for her

I worded this wrong. She is a lucky girl and has her dream job…it’s the friends and social life she’s missing:(

I think that helps that there are others in the same boat x

Any one out there use Iris connect in their schools? Would love to hear opinions x

Finally managed to get my thoughts written down about the way being in the Ofsted window affects my mental health. I know I’m not alone. Please

No one talks about the sensory overload for the adults in class, of fidget toys, standing desks, leg bands, wobble cushions, rocking chairs, adults whispering instructions. All good stuff for the children, but man do I find it tricky focussing to teach 😂

Tbf I only cover. I assume the adults in class permanently have developed some sort of superhuman skills to deal with this phenomena.. …or are just losing their minds slowly 😂

Has anyone trialled these in school? Cant afford a class set, but wondering if they could help for a few children

Has anyone found a free EpiPen training for staff online? TIA

We’re in the market for some chair pouches. Any recommendations?

Dear Hannah Spencer…I really like you and what you stand for. Please don’t turn out to be a knob. Me and the young girls I teach need you very much not to do that. Thanks.

Before I make one with my limited skills, does anyone have a booklet for staff supporting with SATS with all the rules about what you can and can’t do in the tests?

Please share the pshe schemes you use for primary and whether or not you rate them. TIA

We have a TA who is becoming a bit overwhelmed by the constant noise in school - works with the littlies and does wraparound club as well! Was wondering about loop ear plugs to support. Anyone used them themselves? Views?

Cannot believe I’m at the stage where I’m changing my bio to say I’ve been a HT for 6 years. Still absolutely winging it 😂

The 🇮🇱 flag was included in the London Eye New Year’s display. The Star of David wasn’t removed. The flags were small, animated and part of a sequence forming the Union Flag. Visibility issues affected several blue & white flags, not Israel alone. No evidence this was antisemitic
