On tube yesterday a group of teenage boys-“ I got a detention from Ms xxx for saying I support Palestine. She would not let us discuss it”. They went on to talk about free speech.. very respectful. Schools must facilitate discussion on difficult topics. If not us, who will do it?

It’s time for colleagues, parents, Governors, LAs/MATs, Unions and others to step up to the plate! I would be there to support but am away at the moment.

Tim Brighouse’s legacy to education is far reaching but most of all to teachers and young people. They were his first priority. See below his list of twenty things that teachers do!

I was told I would never be a Headteacher because I was too emotional. I was a Head for 17 years & never tried to hide my emotions. Schools are emotional al places & pupils & staff & parents need to be able to feel & express their emotions!

We need to start by looking & the curriculum & the obsession of filling children with facts. We need to look at pedagogy & the emphasis on testing with no opportunity to explore! We need to look at pastoral care & developing strong relationships. The system discourages enjoyment!

Branwen's full report says multiple ways needed to boost school attendance. But, the logic behind the sport idea is probs that for many (not all) sport is fun and good for well-being. So I think boosting extra curric sport is a great idea.

Not true - we were confiscating weapons (including knives) &acting accordingly in terms of exclusions, police involvement etc as early as 2002! Every Child Matters agenda (Labour) allowed us to work in real partnership with police, youth service, social care etc. All before Gove

Before Gove, could not search kids’ bags for knives, could not give immediate detentions, heads could not permanently exclude as kid likely reinstated, so kid would bring knife to school, can’t search, would use it, then can’t exclude for it. Tip of the iceberg. Lots more.

@theonlypeterkay I am sure @BorisJohnson must be donating his (huge) speaking fees to the Ukraine cause? He cares so much we assume he would not want to profit from their misfortune. Can Media folk please ask him about this?

@SkyNews Questions: 1) What useful purpose does the monarchy serve? 2)Why don’t they pay tax like the rest of us? 3)Why do they need so many properties that tax payers fund? 4) why are the British public described as subjects? 5) why not real transparency re wealth of royal family?

@SchoolsWeek @educationgovuk I wonder what he thinks schools have been doing ‘flexibly’ last term? Staff have covered each other, SLT have acted as LSAs supporting the most vulnerable children, teachers have gone without PPA, Heads have taken in cleaning & caretaking duties.. I could go on!

Thank you. The only major newspaper to put this on the front page! I understand the police now estimate it was 2 million & it felt like it! Buy the Observer people!

@SwailesRuth Ruth describes (v well) the situation in most schools at the moment. It’s not sustainable. Heads must start saying No to things that don’t make school life better for kids & staff! It’s about building relationships - the rest will follow!

@fascinatorfun He was obviously keeping notes for his memoirs… you really have to laugh at the ego of the man! I often wished I had kept a diary of my rollercoaster ride as a headteacher for 17 years but never had the time! Too busy doing stuff! Not the same for BJ obviously 😎.

@TanjaBueltmann She obviously views homeless people as ‘bad’….. not looking at reasons why increasing numbers of ‘people’ are homeless. The woman is a serious risk to us all!

@kruevans It’s called modelling! A better idea is to organise Teacher Rounds where all teachers (in the group) observe each other & feed back in a very supportive & useful way! If the group includes SLT they must participate as equals - it works really well!

@jwalms93 You should do what they are doing further down the school as well! I am always blown away by what goes on in EYFS - we (secondary) teachers have so much to learn about pedagogy used in the primary classroom!

@WhistleblowingT Not really the right attitude! Teaching Assistants (u are lucky to have one) may have a lot of experience & specific training around autism & other SEND needs & you would be wise to listen & show respect. Teachers & TAs need to work in partnership. It’s about pupils not your ego!

@Monica_Geldart Anybody who works in a school - no matter what their role needs a sense of humour! Especially when working with hormone laden teenagers! I have worked as a HT for 17 years and have been in schools for 40 years! I am not offended in any way by your videos! They make me laugh!

Tim Brighouse always put people first.Every person he met on one of his numerous visits to school (big numbers) received a personal letter of thanks to them (like the one below). He listened & he cared about us. He respected teachers & was our greatest advocate. A life well lived

@KayBurley @MattHancock Headteachers across the land are supposed to be promoting British Values.. seriously how can they promote the clear lack of values & principles & lack of empathy this Government lives by? Thankfully I am not a HT anymore as I could not do this. The example of this Gov is shameful

Treat teachers as professionals and give them a real voice in the way the school is run. Do things with teachers rather than to teachers! Remember there is no one way to teach - let them decide what works for them & their pupils.

@blondebonce Those who lead small schools are more vulnerable & many of the calls we receive @Headrest_UK are from headteachers of small schools who don’t even have a deputy or AH, many teaching or covering absences & little support from Govs, LA or MAT. Call us @Headrest_UK Don’t be alone.
