As it’s now in the public domain, I’m thrilled to be able to say that, from September, I’ll be the Deputy Headteacher at Seal CE Primary School. I’m so happy that I will still be a part of Inspire Academy Movement and cannot wait to get started!

Today was an exceptional day at #TDaPELondon. It never ceases to amaze me that a group of teachers, leaders and researchers want to come together on a Saturday to learn from each other. A huge shout out to @kieran-m-ed.bsky.social for making the day happen.

#TDaPELondon - Perhaps biased but I feel this is one of the most important sessions of the day… it’s great to learn about so much today but why is it important and how does it equate to its application in the classroom!

1. As a male primary school teacher in leadership, you know that there are certain expectations, especially juggling the demands of a full-time class and senior roles. Add fatherhood to the mix, and life becomes a delicate balancing act—rewarding, yes, but a constant whirlwind of responsibilities.

I feel like I have neglected new books for the last 12 months. Something I always loved was children’s books but haven’t picked up anything new recently. Can I get some recommendations of quality books (KS2) that have been released in the last year?

Leadership can be lonely. The weight on leaders shoulders can be heavy with any burdens that they have being ones they feel they shouldn't share. However, leadership IS a privilege and provides OPPORTUNITY! The opportunity to develop and shape a community! A thread of hope 1/4:

The memory is incredible… I’m seeing McFly tonight - haven’t listened to them for about 15ish years… loved them during the uni days (20 years ago!) This morning I thought I’d listen to a couple of songs - that first chord and I knew every word, every key change! Amazing! 😍
