Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Mr W found out from a passing comment, as he was At School, Teaching, when it was announced. Fun times.

I'm having a day off tomorrow. I work an LEA Officer type contract, and this is my first day of booked annual leave this year. I carried much of last year's leave allowance over, too.

Whatever knee jerk reaction Williamson is making can jolly well wait! I'll do it when the site is empty next week!

Oh joy! Two members of staff have just returned positive tests... Now, did I spend any time with either of them in the last two days of term? Can't remember. Fortunately, the local authority if offering the lateral flow tests to NHS/key workers/school staff, and I've already got mine booked.

Mine was fine. Just heard today another 3 staff members now positive. That's 5 in a week.

LouiseRuns - that's not good news.

Currently advertising some PhD studentships for an Oct start. Applications open on the 13th Jan, but I've already had an email asking whether they can apply early despite noting that applications aren't open yet. I'm so tempted to tell them they've failed the first test, basic reading comprehension.

Anyone else spending their NYE drafting letters to parents, setting up consent forms, setting up vulnerable kids lists etc.?

There are enough educators on here that I thought it might be nice to have somewhere supportive to rant and problem solve.

Everyone is welcome.
