It’s 11.13 am on Thursday 16th July. Our term @fram_official ends tomorrow but like most of those working in schools I’ve run out of steam already. As I write, we are STILL waiting for the DfE to provide details of how much catch-up money we’ll receive…nothing changes

The Government has had a truly disastrous few months. Their handling of this crisis couldn’t have been much worse. If you think about the implications of Brexit and the economy too, then you’d struggle to feel much optimism for the next few months or years.

Yet, there have been uplifting moments during this crisis, and so many people to thank. So here goes, hoping I don’t miss anyone out https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">.

1. To my fellow headteachers; those I follow on Twitter, those I know personally, and those who have got in touch out of the blue. You have done an incredible job and your advice and support (whether you know you’ve given it or not) has been invaluable

2. To @RealGeoffBarton & the @ASCL_UK team for supporting and advising their members so well. It& #39;s an organisation I am proud to be a member of

3. To all those teachers, consultants, trainers & educators who, despite their loss of income, have provided incredible CPD opportunities for teachers, usually at no cost. Particular thanks to @teacherhead and @researchEdhome

5. To all the parents at @fram_official This has been such a difficult period for everyone, and some have suffered personal losses of their own, but their support and collective efforts to continue to help their children to learn has been appreciated by all of us

6. To our students; you aren’t a "lost generation" and you won’t have fallen behind half as much as people might say. We’ve missed working with you every day but you’ll be back on track in no time. Can& #39;t wait for September

7. To my SLT. I’ve been lucky enough to appoint all of them and it’s the strongest senior team I’ve worked with. They have been incredible during this crisis @janerayson @fran_ward @helenmachin23 @LeeanneMersh @PattisonWendy + Gayle & Louise
