Join me live at 8am tomorrow morning on BBC Three Counties Radio discussing the incident of a supply teacher putting sticky tape over a 9 year old in her class.
As regular readers of my blog know I used to be a Deputy Head teacher and class teacher for 22 years. I have also been a supply teacher so I know first hand how challenging stepping into a different teacher’s shoes can be when the teacher is absent.

A supply teacher has resigned from a primary school after she allegedly put sticky tape over the mouth of a nine year-old child to ‘keep her quiet’.
The teacher, who has not been named, taught at Fowlmere Primary in the pretty village of Fowlmere, Cambridgeshire.
