When you are wandering through Edinburgh and bump into @jaybrownmbe. Always guaranteed to put a smile on my face 😊
(Although meeting former pupils makes me feel a little older every time 🫣)

Trying to control a childs behaviour by failing to address the underlying issues leads to ineffective interventions, only further dysregulating the nervous system. We need to look at their history of adversity. Their history of relational wealth & their current functioning.🧠🌱

Archbishop Cushley has paid tribute to Andrew Sharkey, the former headteacher of St Kentigern's Academy in Blackburn, West Lothian, who died in November aged 54.
Speaking at Mass for the school's patron saint, he said: "I want to give thanks to God for the gift of Mr Sharkey and what he was able to do – for his family, for the local community, for the scouts, and for the school."
Looking forward to welcoming our @StMargaretsAcad community back to school tomorrow. We hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas break. Just be careful in the snow on your way in!

If you don't enjoy spending time around children, education may not be the right path. Teaching is as much about relationships as it is about content.
Our @StMargaretsAcad Senior Pathways event is in full swing with colleges, employers and universities on hand to give advice to our young people about their next steps #nowrongpath #pathways

Want to lead? Stop being “nice".
Kind leaders are honest, even when it’s uncomfortable.

“Nice” leadership holds people back, here’s why:
Too many leaders mistake being nice for being kind.
Being "nice" doesn’t solve problems.
It doesn’t build trust or push people to grow.
It simply avoids conflict, leaving issues unresolved.
Think about a time when your leader was just "nice." They:
Avoided conflict
Ignored problems
Sugarcoated feedback
Maybe it felt good at first, but did you really grow from it?
Being kind is different.
Leadership isn’t a popularity contest.
It’s about creating a space where people feel:
Challenged
Supported
Trusted
Kindness does that.
Niceness doesn’t.
It’s been a whirlwind of a term settling into a new school - fab but tiring! Me and wonder woman are signing off for the October break.
What a fabulous way to end my first term in my new school 🥰

It so important to understand how young people’s brains work and remember the impact of trauma on them. Working with young people to help them understand themselves is life changing #teenagebrain #compassion -#traumainformed
LOVE a show-me board. I use mine in every lesson I teach
A fabulous evening celebrating the best of @StMargaretsAcad, our values and our achievements #REACH #BeStMargarets
St Margaret's is trying to create a more sustainable prom as part of our #laudatosi commitment and an awareness of the cost of the school day. We are looking for donations for our pre-loved prom shop which is opening soon. Can you help? #sustainability #cosd #prom2025
