I’ve only worked at @BrookMeadAcad for just over 2 weeks and already feel part of the team! Big thank you to @Jess_LBK for these “clothes for every BMA baby” ready for my little man when he arrives! 🙌🏻❤️
Today was the day 😍. 1 year teaching in a temporary building. 2 years teaching across 2 sites and 1 year leading across 2 schools and 3 sites. #movingday @BrookMeadAcad. When I say it’s nice I mean it’s beyond anything I imagined 😍😍 we’re so lucky and so are our children 🥹
“An ode to upper” - acrylic on canvas - 2025.
Our home for the last 2 years @BrookMeadAcad . I’d be sad but I’m too excited about our new forever school 😍

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Yesterday, I published an article about yourparty.uk
I want to issue a public correction and a sincere apology for an error.
In that article, I said 500,000 people had signed up. That was incorrect.
It is now 600,000 — and counting.
Real change is coming.
Another piece in progress with the original inspiration by @dbeattie22 💜 @GrimArtGroup
