education policy guy. scouser. your favourite pintman's favourite pintman. views regrettably my own.
A really interesting paper. I think the ‘schools as anchor institutions’ model seems increasingly inevitable - not just based on the preferences of Govt but rather on where state/civic capacity actually lies.
Confederation of School Trusts@cstvoice.bsky.social · 3w agoCST has long advocated for the role of school trusts as civic partners. Our new discussion paper explores what that means in an age of devolution and place-based decision making, working at neighbourhood, local, and regional or system level: https://twp.ai/E5D7so
Henrik Ibsen! Harald Hardrada! Magnus Carlsen! Ole Gunnar Solksjaer! Roald Amundsen! Edvard Munch! We have beaten them all. Edvard Munch can you hear me? I have a message for you: We have knocked Norway out! Edvard Munch - your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!
it’s incredible to see ‘catholicism is a necessary condition for beautiful football’ - a take previously only seen after i’ve had eight pints - in the new york times

england must fight back against the woke decadent jubel and return to the ancient ways of the bitter shandy or the lager and lime
just played five a side in 32 degree heat and feel like i’ve just walked off the azteca
very much enjoying getting dragged in as the group chat’s resident catholic to explain SSPX

Alright 007, the boffins in Q section have been hard at work on this limited edition Labubu. It attaches to your carhartt manbag normally, completely inconspicuous. But unclip it and press down on the nose 3 times...
leading economists have concluded that your favorite childhood memories - the joy of a snow day, the smell of fresh-cut grass, the cool wind of summer dusk - were merely Zero-Interest Rate Period phenomena, and have limited relevance for today's macro environment
that curaçao goal is such a thing of joy. lovely away kit too. might get into these the way i did peru in 2018
hey girl, I've been glued to this by-election drama for weeks - potentially historic, right? but then I thought to myself 'you probably wouldn't have so much time to obsess over Makerfield if you'd spent more time thinking about how you made-her-feel.' I guess that's why I'm texting you now,
i cannot recommend gardening enough tbh lads. i will get around to the warren zevon.
Pete Whitehead@petewhitehead.bsky.social · 6mo agocurrently looking for a replacement charger for my old, battered keyboard. have settled on my new year’s resolutions being: 1) get a lot better at gardening 2) learn how to play Warren Zevon’s ‘Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner’ and ‘Werewolves of London’ on piano
baffling how we spend millions on research funding every year and yet we’re none the wiser as to why the marie antoinette (2006) soundtrack went so hard
you know what, that bournemouth game at the start of the season was absolutely horrible because they looked so dangerous every time they went forward. if that’s what iraola’s liverpool looks like i’ll 100% have it
suspect i fully agree with the sentiment behind it - think gakpo has had a woeful season - but i really don’t like the booing
absolutely huge turn out today for clapton cfc… 1-0 up in the first ten minutes, love this lads
on the gardening point… it’s a start! my first ever bulbs have come up! now to see if i can, over time, wrest having a nice climbing plant behind them back from the evils of powdery mildew

made cassoulet from scratch for the first time and i’m incredibly pleased with how the whole thing, but especially the confit duck, turned out
