We took 52 pupils to rural Kenya to do some outreach work with @CampsInt last week. A wonderful opportunity for pupils to have these experiences, finished with an incredible safari in Tsavo National Park!

Fantastic two days at the @BSMEorg Golf Tournament. Very proud of @BCAbuDhabi for a 3rd place finish and two individual trophies 🏆 What a place for them to get to play 36 holes as well! ☀️#bsmegolf – at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Does anyone have any recommended providers for DSL training or refresher courses online? Normally would use Infinite Learning but no planned courses in the near future. #collabuae #teachertwitter

Apart from whole school timetabling which in my opinion is deserving of a knighthood.. Is there a more frustrating task than creating the duty rota? 🤯🫣#collabuae – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates

At the airport, ready for my 5th year in the UAE. New role, new school, new emirate, exciting if not a little nervous! To all new arrivals, I promise it does get cooler, just give it until October! ✈️ 🇦🇪 ☀️ 🏫 – at Solihull, England

He divides opinion yes, but if I was 20 years younger I know I’d be in the garden, cap on backwards playing tennis against a wall pretending to be Krygios. He’s great for tennis 🎾 #wimbledon

Exciting! I wonder who will be expected to teach it, Science or Hums? Either way I personally think it’s much needed in our curriculum! 🦈 🍃 🌎

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Jack Dromey. Jack worked tirelessly for our school community and will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family.
Deeply sad news. My thoughts and those of the whole Labour movement are with Harriet, their children and all those who knew and loved Jack.

Lots of chat about international teaching recently on here, @lewisjkeens did a great job of summing it up earlier. For me, you’ll work just as hard, but main diff is the great opportunities to travel and see the 🌎. If you’re considering it, do it. You can always go home! – at Musandam, Oman
