➡️Ofsted suspends inspections. ➡️Schools remaining open. ➡️Huge numbers of teachers off work. We’re seeing a shift in the purpose of school from education establishments to mass childcare facilities! MASSIVE respect to teachers across the land. Without you... NHS collapse!!

Imagine... just imagine being this child today! Her teachers believe in her so much that they tweeted the person she wrote about in her homework. Someone who’s an inspiration to her. Just look what happened!! @Stormzy1 you just made someone’s year!

A school I’m working with ( @w_woodborough ) tragically experienced a fire last wk. The fire destroyed Y2 & Y3 classrooms. They’re in desperate need of books for 6-8 yr olds. Twitter, can we do our thing? @MrsFWren is their DHT. @MichaelRosenYes @PieCorbett
