My precious, funny, wonderful Dad passed away! It was expected/not expected. His 10 children and his wife of 58 years stood around him as he went on his final journey! It was peaceful, beautiful and painful. We are heartbroken! @traceya75

‘Children are often so much more intelligent than their reading ages allow. So we MUST make time to read aloud to them in our adult voice’ They can then experience more than they can read themselves. @CressidaCowell is sowing some beautiful RfP seeds on @BBCRadio4 @OpenUni_RfP

My first year of Headship ended up being one of the strangest, worrying and absolutely best years ever. Throughout, my SLT, teachers parents/children have been amazing. I found this today and I cannot wait for tomorrow! Best wishes for a wonderful start everyone! 🙏🏾

Yesterday was the hardest day of my life. We ‘celebrated’ our wonderful, precious Dad and laid him to rest. His was truly a life well lived! Thank you for all the kind words and thoughts. It was needed and fully appreciated! 💔🙏🏾💔@traceya75

My Deputy - who I drive home from work - has tested positive! 😢 We are now off until the last week of term…the final busy week of term! 😳 I’m a little bit fed up! Get well soon @traceya75 🙏🏾
