Reading anything good this summer? 📚 The best teacher-authors are readers first. If your holiday reading's sparked an "I could write this" moment - that's your sign. #Teachers #Education #WriteABook

A lot of teachers say "I'll write a book one day, when I've got time." That day rarely arrives on its own. The ones who do it usually just start with a conversation. No pressure - happy to be that conversation if it helps. ☕ #Teachers #Education #WriteABook

@england.nhs.uk How is a child of 16 supposed to get a flu vaccination? We have all been urged to get one (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...) but our GP practice says he isn't eligible, his post-16 college doesn't offer one and our local pharmacies are unable to vaccinate a 16YO privately? Advice please

Latest ITT statistics are somewhat positive, with most secondary subjects - especially shortage ones - recruiting better than last year. Primary down a smidge, English down due to bursary cut But majority still likely to be below target (this is last year's targets: new actuals out next month)
