First time on a bike yesterday in probably 25 years! And the same bike from then too 😊 It started off being terrifying but then it was fabulous! Not too far for the first outing, but a nice little jaunt around exploring some of the site our lodge is on 🚴‍♀️

📣Calling all @ascl-uk.bsky.social Business Leaders. Following publication of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSSNB) consultation paper, we have set up two Business Leader Online Forums to hear your views on the proposals. ASCL does not believe the SSSNB will serve business leaders well.

A lot of schools feeling pretty bleak about funding announcements yesterday 🧵 ➡️ASCL has warned some members are facing shortfalls of 10-35% in funding for increased employer national insurance contributions ➡️Leaders warn they're being asked to find efficiencies "where none realistically remain"

It has become the norm in education to believe a great leader is someone who is permanently available. But just because that's normal, doesn't mean it's OK

#ASCL2025 - Sinead begins with some stark figures in terms of the education workforce and the reported levels of stress, burnout and difficulty in turning off. As leaders, we must be more ruthless in how we prioritise our time and health in the long term, and be better at setting boundaries.

“School & college leaders had high hopes that an approach to inspection based on report cards might be more nuanced and humane. Sadly, the way in which Ofsted and the government are going about this suggests that the opposite will be the case." Our full response to #Ofsted plans: ow.ly/i0IJ50UR71H

As the person who accidentally began this Yuletide event, it falls to me to give it some kind of shape. Clearly anyone can use hashtags whenever and wherever they like, but given that we've got presents to panic buy and wrap, I usually say "let's get going at 7.30pm?" 3/

Nice podcast from @ascl-uk.bsky.social last month on flexible working, with Antonia Spinks. Good to hear another example of successful co-leadership, and how they worked on de-stigmatising flexible work requests for teachers & support staff, eg. not asking why. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...
