I know I've posted it it before, but someone might find this useful. I share this every September (although I do modify it) but if you're a new/inexperienced Head it might help you help everyone focus on what is important at the start of the year... philsalisbury.wordpress.com/2026/02/22/w...

I thought Claridges’s Bar was a classy place - only been there twice. Didn’t know the kind of people that went there! @c4news.bsky.social

Saw a beautiful Ragdoll (not quite as beautiful as Saffy!) out for a walk in the park on a lead last night. She was very vocal. Especially when a dog passed by. But didn’t appear to be freaked out just “look at me everyone” meows. 😀

Know that feeling well. Luckily my son doesn’t tell me about jumping out of planes or swimming with sharks until after he’s done it! Hope your heart rate back to normal….

Shout out to all teachers still going through another heatwave, the usual end of term madness and a World Cup! Nearly there… keep going…

I’ve left X. Couldn’t cope with the toxic stuff. People will always complain about schools, whatever we do. If they had to face a class of hot tired children that would soon shut them up!

Good luck. Best to get it over before half term and then the summer.

Walk along the Thames at Battersea or up by Tower Bridge. If weather not good a lot of the National Portrait Gallery is free… x

It’s not often that whilst in Learner Voice session (Y1, Geography) that you see a goat 🐐 on a lead going past the door. I love Infant & Primary schools!@westbrooktrust.bsky.social

Alex chased Luna with a tree one year in an attempt to put her off climbing it! Bit mean. But like Saffy, she just pays the lower baubles!

Hi bphillipsonmp.bluesky.social Schools are struggling. Some families have never recovered from the pandemic; social issues have been exacerbated, poverty has increased. Many kids go to home countries for extended holidays. Tell you what, let’s give them an attendance target. Good idea.

Hi @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social Schools are struggling at the moment. 14 years of cuts have coincided with unparalleled rises in behaviour, attendance and complex SEND needs. There are no AP places and schools are barely coping. Tell you what, let’s raise the phonics target to 95%. Good idea.
