So honoured to be the subject of a @mrshawthorne7 sketchnote - thank you, Charlotte. Also, a huge thank you to @mrbartonmaths and @EmathsUK and @PdDerry for making that episode happen, quite a while back now.
Finally got around to finishing this sketchnote of the amazing video episode of the @mrbartonmaths podcast with @berniewestacott
If you haven’t seen it hopefully this will tempt you. It’s great CPD, primary or secondary maths. 🌟

I’m interested in reading what clerks think about online meetings. I’ve created a survey and would greatly appreciate if clerks could complete it. Depending upon how many responses I get, I may blog the results. The survey is anonymous. Many thanks.

Agree with all said but irrespective of final legal responsibility, each setting needs to thoroughly evidence their decision & I feel we should say this must, not may, go via the GB to scrutinise in order to support the HTs in this. – at Ealand, England

Really useful update from the NGA - looking forward to hearing more from this:
"We have suggested that the DfE also needs to produce guidance specifically for governing boards and we are expecting this later in the week"

Volunteering as a school governor is rewarding, challenging and vital to the leadership of schools. It is also a perfect chance to give something back to the local community.
