A wonderful evening last night at the north west #Educate Awards. @EducateAwards So many brilliant schools doing amazing things. A huge thank you to @SatisEducation for the invitation 🧡 The performance from @LIPASixthFormCo College was exceptional ⭐️✨ So much talent to celebrate in so many schools but the award recognising the exceptional leadership @BCHSchool in Warrington was such an important one. Emma Mills & her fabulous SLT getting a standing ovation. ♥️ Wonderful to catch up with some of the best people Micheal Pain @ForumStrategyUK @HelenStevenson4 @TeacherToolkit @RossMcGill @chrisdysonHT @ChallengePartnr Kate @simonkidwell and many more people I can’t find on Twitter because it is behaving oddly! ⭐️🧡

Getting up early to go to an 8am class can be tough on a Saturday but I feel training again has saved me over the last 6 months. Pilates ✔️ Yoga 🧘‍♀️ ✔️ My gym looks so lovely lit up when it’s still dark 💕#teacherwellbeing

A fabulous thread. RS is an amazing subject to teach. Some wonderful points here 😊 #edutwitter #RE #RS

Friday was my last Y11 RS lesson with my brilliant and insightful class who I have taught since Y9. 😭 When asked to teach RS as a Geographer I was pretty dubious about its importance, impact and purpose but having taught RS GCSE for 4 years these are things I have learnt 🧵⬇️
