Sign up takes 5 minutes. You can choose to drop supplies to someone in need or simply call a lonely person in isolation. goodsamapp.org/NHS
I’ll be supporting the Catherine of Aragon for the next few weeks to maintain social distancing!
Coronavirus led to the closure of my 💈 So this happened!
I cut my own hair today, with a beard trimmer. When I say cut, I mean shaved one side off. Completely off. I thought the 2 meant a number 2 (6mm). Turns out 2 on a beard trimmer means 2mm. Shit!

Boris to the public : Schools are closed. Boris to teachers (at bloody midnight): Schools remain open.

This email I received yesterday must capture the thoughts and feelings of a generation. I’ve taught my Y11 groups since they were in Y7. They’ve been wonderful for five years. I won’t get a chance to say goodbye to them or reassure them today as I am self isolating.

Isolating now for next 14 days and feeling incredibly guilty. Wish I could encourage my two Y11 classes (taught them since Y7). Will happily spend time in school over Easter to play a small part in a national effort. Best wishes to all teachers these next two days #Corvid19uk

I wonder how many thousands of teachers will start their morning like mine today, checking their school website hoping for a snow announcement (shortly followed by a sigh). ⛄️

Planned a 60 minute assembly to give to Y11 today on the new @Nike advert. I was using @Kaepernick7 and his bravery. Sadly, the IT failed moments before the cohort came in, meaning I had no sound!

I’ve had the most amazing week at my new school. We’re in special measures but there is such a sense of togetherness. Having grown up on a council estate just yards from the school, I’m honoured to be part of something that will transform kids’ lives and transcend education.

Go Nike! So pleased they’ve taken this risk and stood behind such an inspiring man. It’s shocking that an athlete has been cut down in his prime for raising awareness of an issue affecting potentially millions of black Americans. #ColinKaepernick
Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt

My thoughts tonight are with all those teachers who’ll be feeling sad tonight at the thought of seeing their kids less these next few months. Will miss my two so, so much!

Well and truly back into work mode now. Loved my last school but so excited for the next chapter.

Great news... unless you are a working class kid or parent. Great news... unless you are a non-selective comp competing for places with local grammar schools.
