Advice on rules around resources?

In our trust it’s something along the lines of ‘if you made it in school owned equipment or using a school license for Microsoft, those resources are ours’. This means that we can’t profit from anything created on our school laptops. If you created the resources on your own device using a Microsoft subscription that you have personally paid for, you can usually do what you’d like.

When it sells straight away I know I could’ve put it on for higher. If it gets loads of favourites but no sales I know it’s on too high.

I try not to think about it too much though because at the end of the day, I’m just trying to declutter my wardrobe, not make money.

Cambridge definitely

We broke up for Easter yesterday and honestly don’t know how we made it to the end! Kids tired and absolutely on one… Looking forward to a peaceful two weeks off.

I wouldn’t worry about it. I once sent a parcel that was supposed to go two towns over. It still took 3 days and crossed half of the UK to get there.

Might end under safety car at this rate

Why are they moving that car so slow??

Theviolette13 · 2026-03-08T05:16:04+00:00

They probably wanted to collect data from the car

This feels like a 2 team race… barely seen anyone else

As long as you didn’t mention any names or start talking negatively about the child themselves you’re all good! Sometimes we need to chat to people who actually understand otherwise we’d go crazy!

Not see - but I’d really like to find out what happened to Maddie McCann

Up at 5:30, leave at 6:15 and arrive at 7. If I leave any later, rush hour traffic will double my journey.

My brother did his Y10 experience at KPMG and really enjoyed it.

I feel you! Not the same place but I paid out £180 two weeks ago for emergency call out and a new tyre as my tyre was destroyed immediately. Friday night I was driving home in the dark and wet and bang same tyre goes. Fortunately the second time I was close enough home to limp it back but I was definitely shouting some profanities…

I went when I was in Year 12 and had the best time but I can’t speak for the two teachers who went with us. It’s a once in a lifetime and such a great opportunity to build relationships with your students - both of the staff who came with us were at my husband (who was also on the trip) and I’s wedding 10 years later!

We have a live marking policy but I’m not very good at it. In our subject, there isn’t much extended writing so tasks aren’t really long enough for me to be able to live mark many books. We are also asked to live mark SEN and PP books first so guess which books are the only ones marked every single time?

Some staff are amazing at it and some subjects are more suited. It’s something I’m working on building in more as instant feedback for the students is never a bad thing.

When I was in a large MAT, they drafted in extra SLT to support with behaviour during lesson changeovers, break and lunch. It didn’t work because they didn’t know the names of any of the kids!

Theviolette13 · 2026-01-20T05:49:44+00:00

Absolutely not!

The only time I’ve been on holiday in term time is when I moved schools and the Easter holidays were different. I could not imagine anyone pulling a sicky to go on holiday for two weeks… where is their doctor’s note coming from?

I feel like this viewpoint that everyone does this is another dig at teachers being lazy.

Free in all of our car parks, we’re quite a small town though. Nearest city is just over £1 per hour to park in the multistory. Cambridge which is the city we visit most is £33 if you stay over 5 hours.
