Replying to @MiddletonHist @Gwenelope
I wrote an article for @TeachTalks on mentoring. It’s not from a book, it’s my personal reflection and learning on mentoring. teachtalks.co.uk/mentoring-i…. Let me know if it helps. Good luck and DM if you need. Mentoring is so rewarding. You’ll love it.

I have just heard a govt. spokesman on R4 saying that schools could re-open early in a staged relaxation of the lock down. So I have the following questions: What evidence is there that, although children may not get very sick with COVID, the same is true for their teachers?

A great message from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for the children of key workers fighting #coronavirus - an important tribute to our NHS.

Teachers across the UK are dedicating their time to keeping schools open for the children of key workers and vulnerable children. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge called teachers and school staff at Casterton Primary Academy to thank them for their hard work and dedication.

Let me get this straight, the govt is being advised to reopen schools but to ensure pupils remain 2m apart. Have they actually met any children?

We have been informed some parents have received an email stating: ‘As schools will be closing, if you're entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we'll make sure you're supported’. This is a scam email - do not respond, and delete immediately.

Why isn’t every newspaper headline tomorrow simply #StayAtHome ? Why isn’t the message on the side of all buses, electronic advertising boards, TV screens at programme changeovers, begiin8ng and end of every news bulletin......
Following tonight’s announcement by PM @BorisJohnson, education providers - including schools - will remain closed except for vulnerable children or those whose parents are critical workers. #StayHomeSaveLives 👉gov.uk/government/publicatio…
