"Between 2010 and 2022, 40,438 qualified teachers left the state sector within a year of starting." A fantastic analysis of teacher retention data here from @ellen_cph that makes clear why improving retention of new teachers is so important tes.com/magazine/analysis/ge…

Of the 24,159 teachers who qualified in 2013, just 13,964 remain in the state sector 10 years later. @ellen_cph analyses the latest @educationgovuk data to reveal the extent of the teacher recruitment crisis tes.com/magazine/analysis/ge…

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own. Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya. I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them. May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon. Love Si x

What is going to happen about all The money that was wrongly taken from #subpostmasters and what about the bankruptcy or loss of homes they suffered? #HorizonScandal

We’ve failed an entire generation of children. We need to take them offline. Boys are being subjected to none contact #CSA in the form of extremely violent & degrading porn & then assaulting female peers. We cannot allow this to continue #RestoreSafeguarding #WomenEd #Edutwitter

This was in the Women in Revolt Exhibition at the Tate Modern. It made me remember that understanding and caring for our bodies is a radical act. That making plain what is often treated with shame is a radical act. And talking about #menopause and #perimenopause is too!

Schools are unusual workplaces! You don't take a break when you need, can't pop to the loo where you want. You need to think on your feet. You have to manage stress and your emotions very carefully. When your memory fails you it does so very publicly. Need to talk about this?

Parents evening always reminds me of the time I gently told a parent that her child in Year 6 was behind and would need extra support. She went ballistic and said 'well last year's teacher didn't tell me that!' Probably a fair argument usually. But I was his Year 5 teacher.

Love this! 🧡
