1/9 All teachers in England's secondary education system know that really this is the first week back, even with two weeks of the holiday to go. Why?
Just got back from a lovely cruise. Every day, Mrs. L and I came back to our cabin to find a new creature made out of our towels! Truly spectacular. Some days I am annoyed to say that I forgot to take a picture. The cruise was fairly budget too. Well worth it just for this. #TuiCruise
My wife, quite rightly, likes to look at historical places when we are on our travels. I find it fascinating to watch the tug boat pushing a cargo ship into the dock.
I dont usually enjoy watching the Spanish football team. But I am sure I can probably speak for most English people in saying 'Vamos, España'. We will be supporting you to beat the ferile, sneaky and lacking in humility Argentinian team in the world cup final tonight! ⚽️ 🏴🤝🇪🇸 #WorldCupFinal

End of the school holiday -Sunday Scaries? #TeacherWorklife #Teaching #Wellbeing #CareerSustainability #Education #EduWell #EduSky
For a teacher, the school holiday is so important. #TeacherWorklife #Teaching #EduSky #EduWell
It is the Easter holidays and teachers are disclosing overwork. Many are looking for support or planning their exit. There are simple answers through professional dialogue, mindset shifts, narrative changes and setting boundaries. #TeacherWorklife #Leadership #Teaching #EduWell #EduSky
Scarborough Athletic v Kidderminster Harriers. Up the Boro! @mrjamesob.bsky.social are you having a day out in Bridlington in this little lot of KHFC fans (the bus stop behind the players)? I hope I am smiling at the end of the game and not you! 😉
As a teacher, I'm 60%-40% for staying, for now! I've researched other careers, but this is what keeps me: ✓ Boundaries, set a leaving time. ✓ Habits, no work emails at home. ✓ Mindset, job works for ME ✓ Narrative, it's a job - not a vocation. Make the job work for you! #EduSky #TeacherWorklife

TEACHER AUTONOMY: IS IT OVERRATED? This year I was given full lesson slides & curriculum—and it was liberating. Less planning, same flair. Maybe it’s not about losing autonomy but rethinking it. Can standardisation help teachers to cut down workload? Thoughts? #EdChat #Teacherworkife #EduSky

THE ELECTRONIC TEACHER PLANNER! The benefits of using one are huge! It cuts down working time and workload. 📌 #Planboard is my preferred choice as it is free and gives me everything I need. ❓️ What teaching software do you use to reduce working time? #TeacherWorklife #TeacherHack #TeacherMindset.
Have not posted for a while. I have been setting up my new business supporting teachers to reduce #workload and #workingtime using my '4 Pillars' concept. www.teacherworklife.com Visit to find out more if you are a teacher & need supoort to make the teaching career sustainable. #EduSky #EduWell
I have been posting for a while over on #Linkedin with ideas to support teachers to stay in the classroom. Based around changing the teacher narrative, changing mindsets, setting boundaries and creating small positive habits. Coming soon #TeacherWorklife #EduSky #Teachers #Wellbeing
Preparing to watch the Boro @scarboroughathletic.com maybe for the last time for a while at the Sports Village. #UpTheBoro
Best away flags of the season so far by @leamingtonfc.bsky.social fans. Very few fans in so far but flags are top notch! @scarboroughathletic.com Really need a victory. Up The Boro! 🌊🐶's
Bubbles at 5:30pm. It must be Valentines Day or am I just celebrating getting through another halfterm? Probably both! 🙂 Cheers all! 🥂
Salve, piacere. Io sono Gareth. Io sono di Scarborough. Arriverderci! Vero? 🤞
Ok. So, I have started brushing up on Italian ready for my trip in Easter. I always try and learn a bit of the language before going on adventures abroad. I hate to be the stereotypical Brit abroad who expects everyone to speak English (even though they shame us for doing exactly that). ✈️
