In summary: on the day @educationgovuk encouraged schools to close, school leaders have discovered via the media that before schools return they need to: a) design, administer and implement daily covid testing for pupils and staff

Government to head teachers: "Get all your staff to teach online straightaway and close your school." HTs: "OK. Any help for those kids without computers and/or WiFi?" Gov: "Yes in about two months we will give you nowhere near the amount you need and they'll be locked." ...

If you want your child's school to be open in September, try not going out and getting drunk with a load of your friends this Saturday night.

Pics showing sewage leak in Bournville park now going for some months. @stwater This is a health hazard. 6 months of inaction is not ok. @MDLZ this sewage runs straight to your Bnville factory. @birmingham_live @BhamCityCouncil @EnvAgency @LizClements @fredgrindrod @steve_mccabe

My lads school has a qualified bikeability instructor on staff & have bikes too. Today he got level 3 training & passed. He cycled home, on the road, in Birmingham. Why isnt every PE teacher a @BikeabilityUK instructor so EVERY pupil can be trained? @educationgovuk @knbs_school


Just what I needed to get me back on track after 2 INSET days and meeting all my new classes. Complimenting my recent training and just so well written #teachlikenobodyswatching thanks @EnserMark

Happy half-term holidays! Have a fun, safe week.


Inspired by amazing teachers on Twitter and after reading @EnserMark’s book.I have taken back control of my Geog teaching career. I need to overhaul the KS3 with skills/topics for #EdExcel B. Having only taught and marked AQA can anyone help with tips/resources? #geographyteacher


Escaped the kids for a rare trip to London to meet Uni friends for lunch. Using the quiet time for some much needed CPD #MEGLC @EnserMark #geographyteacher

In Turkey they're using wind from passing busses to rotate wind vanes and #solar panels creating electricity to power 20,000 homes. We have the solutions to the #climate crisis. The only thing missing is the political will to implement them ⁠#ActOnClimate #tech #COP24 #climate
