September can bring very different feelings for different families. 💜

For some children, it’s excitement. New classrooms, new friends, new adventures and counting down the days until they can get through those school gates.

For others, it can bring uncertainty, worry and a whole lot of BIG feelings.

And for some families, September arrives without the certainty they need as they still wait for the right school place, the right support, or answers about what comes next.

All of those experiences are valid.

As educators and parents, I think it’s important that we make space for all of them.

Because there isn’t one ‘right’ way to start a new school year.

Some children will skip through the gates.
Some will need a hand to hold.
Some might not be ready to walk through them at all.

Inclusion means making room for every child. 🤍

And as my youngest starts school this September, this one is resonating with me more than ever.

Whatever September looks like for your family, I hope it starts with understanding, kindness and the support you need.

Here’s to every child…and every parent behind them. 🎒💜

As our children head back to school, this feels particularly close to my heart as my youngest son starts school this September. 🩵

I’ve been thinking about how important it is that we teach our children that everyone belongs.

Not everyone will play the same way, communicate the same way or find friendships easy.

But every child deserves kindness, patience and to feel included.

A little understanding from one child can make a huge difference to another.

We can all play a part in making our schools a more inclusive place…one kindness at a time. ❤️

I tried this confidence-building activity with my son and I loved it so much I had to share it.

We got out some bracelet-making beads and, instead of simply choosing the ones he liked the look of, I asked him to choose beads to represent things he likes about himself.

💜 I am kind.
⭐ I am brave.
🌈 I try new things.
🩵 I am creative.
✨ I am good at…

Then we turned those beads into a bracelet that he can wear as a little reminder. 🩵

Such a simple way to encourage children to notice their own strengths, rather than us always telling them what they’re good at.

I made one alongside him too, which made the activity even more lovely.

Such a simple one for the summer holidays. All you need is some elastic/thread and a selection of beads.

Save it to try with your child this summer; you might be surprised by the things they choose to celebrate about themselves 🥹✨

We loved doing this one together 💜🩵

Over the past few days, so many parents have messaged me to share their children’s SATs results.

They’ve all worked so hard and should be incredibly proud of themselves.

Whether your child achieved the expected standard, exceeded it or found the tests more challenging than hoped, I want you to know this…

SATs measure a snapshot in time. They don’t measure kindness, resilience, creativity, determination or potential.

Watching parents celebrate their children for who they are and not just the numbers on a results sheet has honestly been my favourite part of this week.

Congratulations to every Year 6 child. You did it! Now go and enjoy your summer and best of luck in your new adventure at secondary school! 💜🩵

🚨 KS2 SATs Results Delayed 🚨

Today parents and schools have been told that the 2026 KS2 SATs results will now be released on 16th July instead of 7th July due to technical issues with the marking system.

For Year 6 pupils who’ve worked so hard, it’s another week of waiting. Hopefully, the extra time ensures every paper is marked accurately and fairly. 💜

Wishing all Year 6 children the very best when results are finally released;you’ve already achieved so much. 💫

Waiting for your child’s SATs results?

Now that SATs are over, many parents are asking the same question…

When will we get the results?

Schools will receive Year 6 SATs results on Tuesday 7th July 2026 and most parents will receive them later in July as part of their child’s end-of-year report.

In this post, I’ve explained:
📚 When SATs results are released
📊 What you’ll receive
✅ What a scaled score of 100 means
💜 Why SATs are only one part of your child’s journey

If you’re a Year 6 parent, save this post so you know what to expect.

Today it was announced that social media will be banned for under 16s.

The news has sparked plenty of debate among parents, teachers and young people.

Some believe stronger restrictions are needed to protect children online.

Others feel the decision should remain with families.

As a parent, what’s your view?

📱 Should under-16s be banned from social media?
📱 Should parents decide instead?
📱 Or is there a better solution?

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments 👇

If your child is in Year 1, they’ll be taking the Phonics Screening Check this June.

It’s a short 1:1 check with their teacher, designed to see how well children can use their phonics knowledge to decode unfamiliar words.

One thing that often surprises parents? Children are asked to read both real words and “alien words” 👽

The check isn’t testing memory. It’s assessing whether children can apply their phonics skills to words they’ve never seen before.

In this post you’ll find:
✨ What the check involves
✨ Why alien words are included
✨ The expected standard
✨ Simple ways to support your child at home

Save this post for later and share it with another Year 1 parent who might find it helpful 💜

Did you know about this test?

Most Year 4 parents don’t realise their child will sit a national multiplication test in June.

The Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is designed to assess children’s recall of times tables up to 12 × 12.

Swipe through for the key facts every parent should know.

Do you have any questions about the MTC? Leave them below and I’ll answer them 💜🩵

SATs are over 💜

Well done Year 6 children, parents and teachers.

Children 🩵
You showed resilience, bravery and determination this week. But SATs will never measure your kindness, creativity, humour or the amazing person you are.

Parents 🩵
Thank you for the revision sessions, encouragement, pep talks and emotional support behind the scenes.

Teachers 🩵
Thank you for the breakfasts, interventions, booster groups and calm classrooms. SATs week takes so much care, patience and hard work.

And now…
The tests are finished.
Childhood continues.

Enjoy the rest of their last year of primary school! 💜🩵
