Lee Parkinson (A.K.A. Mr P) is a hugely popular primary school teacher who has grown a huge online following through offering training courses to school staff, creating funny education related memes & hosting an award-winning podcast with his brother (2 Mr Ps in a Podcast).

Lee sat down with us to chat about all things 'ICT with Mr P' and how the decade long slog got him to where he is today.

We discuss Ofsted with brutal honesty, government funding and the effect it's had on our schools and also the impact AI could have on teacher workload.

Lee was a fantastic guest and we hope you find the episode as engaging and fun as we did!

The summer holidays are in full swing and we are carrying on with weekly episodes of the podcast!

This week, Hayden takes the lead and is in complete control... And he wants to probe and find our more about Dylan's appearance (and win!) on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire a couple of years ago.

We also talk about an end of year quiz we put on for out colleagues and share with you guys a 'Family Fortunes' round from REAL children in our school.

Hayden rounds it off with a Toxic SLT story and a *disgusting* story from the classroom.

Hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode!

This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with Rob Smith (the founder of Literacy Shed).

Rob's insight into his career path and what led him to building one of the most successful and widely used educational website subscriptions for schools.

Rob is funny, interesting and honest. We hope you enjoy this wide-ranging chat as much as we did & that Rob's shredder is still in tact...

The school year is (basically) over (for most people...)!

This week, we have a chat about the end of the school year, and all of the mayhem that comes with Summer 2 (the last half-term before the summer holidays).

We talk about how 'winding down' is a massive myth, reflect on transition day with our new classes & Hayden even has another of his weekly bird-inspired stories.

We can't believe the year is coming to an end, but the podcast will march on!

Thanks for listening.

The longest EVER episode of Teach Sleep Repeat is here and ready for you to devour!

We speak to Emily Weston (primaryteachew on Twitter) about a LOT of different topics.

Emily has a passion for reading, teaches a mixed year 5/6 class and worked in a secondary school as a transition teacher, helping year 6 children make the huge leap to secondary school.

We talk about everything from controversial books to how Emily is, possibly, the clumsiest teacher to ever set foot in a classroom.

We had great fun with this one and hope you do too.

You can skip straight to 21:13 where Emily comes in, but before that Hayden has ANOTHER bird story, Dylan mangles his toe, and we share a Toxic story from one of our dear listeners.

Our first ever podcast episode was called "Why Are Teachers Striking?" and we released it back in February.

Fast forward almost half a year and teachers are STILL striking.

Why?

Is it justified?

Should strikes affect things like sports day, transition days, end of school performances?

What effect is the cost of living having on the profession?

Buckle in for a ranty one!

Please get in touch with us if you have any stories you want us to share on the podcast, of even if you just want to say hi.

Welcome back to another episode... Yes... It's just us two this week!

We dive into the hot topic of using Artificial Intelligence as a teacher, especially in helping to write end of year reports.

We did a BIG poll to find our teachers' opinions across the board and we look at both sides of the argument, before coming down strongly on one side.

We loved this one, and hope you do to!

Our first ever guest, Sophie Bartlett (better known as @_MissieBee on Twitter), joins us for a fascinating chat about all things teaching.

Sophie has built up an impressive following online through sharing extremely helpful resources for teachers and standing up for what is right in education.

We talk about the struggle of staying positive and going above and beyond in a system that feels constantly under appreciated and devalued. Something Sophie makes look easy!

Sophie goes into detail on the benefits of the Shared Parental Leave government scheme, and how teachers in particular can take advantage of it during their own maternity leave.

This it NOT one to be missed!

Hayden is BACK from a residential trip last week which has inspired this week's topic.

His ego is now as big as ever after an encounter he explains in this episode.... He's going to be unbearable for weeks!

The boys also reflect on some training they recently had around the mental health of young people and discuss the frightening statistics around our children's wellbeing.

We are always after some funny classroom stories. Get in touch and let us know to be featured on the show!
