If Starmer gets the boot then the next PM will be the 6th since 2016. Can you imagine the outrage if a school had 6 Heads in 10 years! It’s no wonder people are sick of the Westminster bubble and don’t believe politicians speak for them

Filling out some expense spreadsheet data for our annual review with our finance advisor and I’m horrified that the cat cost more to run than my car!!
I think the way that the first two months of the cricket county championship has unfolded shows that this remains the most compelling form of domestic cricket. We need this as an antedote to crash bang wallop franchise games
The last two hours of the masters was the best tv sport I can remember watching. So pleased for Rory but what a class act and player Justin Rose is
Lovely walk around Waggoners Wells near Grayshott this morning
Me and @carter61.bsky.social have just seen Dear England @nationaltheatre.org.uk and loved every second of it. Superbly written and acted
First match of the summer season for me today away at Hindhead
How about this for reporting school inspections 1 Strong school with high standards capable of offering system support 2 Improving school with good capacity to sustain own progress 3 School requires support as capacity to improve is limited Keeps simple & clear what happens next
Looking forward to this. Hope to see as many of you as possible next week
This is such a lovely painting. It looks great as a photo but even better close up in real life
Claire Carter@carter61.bsky.social · last yr.Our art teacher said we should bear in mind we are working with watercolour or take up oils! So have been trying to let the transparency of watercolour show through- it’s what I love about it. No good being a control freak with this medium!! #watercolour#art
Brilliant to see Blackmoor Golf Club leap from 71st to 56th in the@nationalclubgolfer.bsky.social top 100 rankings. So much hard work has gone in to make the improvements on and off the course. I am very lucky to have this as my home course
I have seen so many of these new standards launches from ministers in my career. But what always gets forgotten is that curriculum change and inspection revision drives the work burden into classrooms. Teaching is tough right now and I hope straws and camel backs is not a regret we have as a result
Great to see my home club Blackmoor featuring in @golfmonthly.bsky.social must play courses. The picture is from the par 3 15th, with plenty of heather to keep you interested!
This is an excellent piece and really capture how well trusts work together in the south west
Cerys Turner@cerysturner.bsky.social · 2y ago📍As part of our MAT tracker series, I've delved into the trust landscape of the SW to unpick the challenges facing the country's most academised region. What are relationships like in the region? And where are the now “maturing” trusts heading next? www.tes.com/magazine/lea...
Just listened to the @VFTNinian.bsky.social podcast and am buzzing now about the game on Saturday. Was dreading it but now I can’t wait. One good omen is I’m doing an education keynote at the Cardiff City stadium Friday morning and the Jacks will have no answer to that

The original Cardiff City podcast. Two Ben's and a Tom talk Cardiff City, kebabs, and everything else in between.

The magic of the FA Cup Stoke City away for the bluebirds. That’s bound to be 7pm on a Thursday. Awful draw
The carols from Kings College are so beautiful and feel more important than ever in this ever more intolerant world we live in
So I’m looking through the December Golf monthly edition and the freeby calendar and March’s picture is the 10th green @Blackmoorgolf my club! It really is as good as it looks
Lovely day of winter golf yesterday at Petersfield golf club.
A birthday card that has a great idea for a golf rule change. Bring it on
It’s FACup round 3 draw this evening and the time of year you convince yourself @ccfc.bsky.social will get Chelsea but the reality it’s a trip to Preston or Blackpool
Am incredibly proud to have been given the Lifetime Contribution to Education @TeachingAwards this evening. It was wonderful to see so many brilliant teachers and leaders from the whole of the UK being celebrated
Fantastic way to spend my 65th birthday with @carter61.bsky.social out in the sunshine. Had some great presents including this lovely painting of Ludshott Common by @chrisstephenart.bsky.social
