If suddenly there’s £2.5 billion to spend on young people, I suggest any of: - fix crisis in SEND - invest in mental health - mend some crumbling schools - provide breakfast clubs - address teacher recruitment crisis Instead they want national service?

Sunak promises to bring back national service for 18-year-olds

Labour lambasts youth policy as ‘desperate and unfunded’ and designed to make youngsters fix government-created problems

Staff across @TEAL_Trust worked with extraordinary skill and professionalism to produce thousands of centre-assessed grades at incredibly short notice. These grades were based on a very wide evidence base and knowledge of the students

New Blog: Build Back Bolder: Five Choices All School Leaders Can Make 1. Stop playing the zero-sum game 2. Care as much about the young people in the school down the road as we do about the young people in our schools

Build Back Bolder: Five Choices All School Leaders Can Make

It’s clearly springtime and maybe for the first time in 12 months there is hope in the air. As our classrooms fill up again, we are all starting to ask the question, with the same air of slight con…

Robert Jenrick this morning “schools will need 1 or 2 or 3 people to do the testing”. DfE briefing on the same day, a school of 2000 students (and we have one in my trust) will need 24 people to do the testing.

I am incredibly excited that @johntomsett and I will be launching a new website to share free downloadable resources derived from our book Putting Staff First. We love hearing how leaders have applied the ideas in different contexts so please get in touch.

NEW THREAD: In 2020, @jonnyuttley & I published a book called “Putting Staff First”. Many school leaders have found the book helpful. Since then, the job of leading schools has become increasingly tough in ways which do not require cataloguing here. 1/3

When the school ended up with a few extras he offered them to other schools. His work led to him being nominated for East Yorkshire Key Worker of the Year. He is a devoted dad and a really kind, decent human being.

The government has more collective capacity than 3,500 secondary schools all working individually. Over the next 2 week @educationgovuk could launch a national appeal for volunteers, create a database & fast-track DBS. Train all volunteers remotely from 4 Jan and launch 11 Jan

More on the ludicrous and risible notion that @Ofstednews will use P8 & KS2 progress measures in 2022 as part of a judgement of quality of education in individual schools. In 2019, Ofsted began refusing to look at schools' internal data due to concerns about its reliability.

The choice of 2:45 is deliberate here. The vast majority of schools finish much later but the SoS chooses 2:45.....

'There's a debate to be had about whether children should be exiting the school gates at 2:45pm or whether they should be in school later', says Education Secretary Gavin Williamson, adding there's a recognition that 'more needs to be done'.

I have never been prouder to be part of the teaching profession, a member of school staff & a small part of this generation of school leaders. An enormous thank you to @TEAL_Trust staff. An exceptional group of kind and dedicated people who have gone above & beyond again & again

I assume if, as expected, PM announces new restrictions & cases 3x higher than 1st week in Jan 21, HMCI will immediately say the only @Ofstednews inspectors setting foot in schools will be investigating serious safeguarding concerns or clutching their DBS & volunteering to teach

£100 million taken from schools in pupil premium “cut” that would have been used to catch disadvantaged pupils up. £25 million given to Ofsted to check on how schools are catching pupils up. Nonsensical doesn’t even get close.

When your fierce 16 year old daughter texts her grandma, who is one of the first women ever ordained priest in the Church of England, to tell her she's a "Girl Boss" on International Women's Day! Made my mum's day.

One of the good things to come out of the last few months has been the extraordinary support school leaders, schools & trusts have given each other. No competition, just the kind of genuine support and kindness that comes out of difficult times

Well, well. Ministers are now threatening us & telling us to get off our backsides. Let’s hope it doesn’t emerge tomorrow that they have emailed the wrong responsible body or trusts who have done the work & the DfE’s records are wrong. Now the would be humiliating.

The DfE appears to be warning schools it will name and shame them for not sending RAAC questionnaire back - as Keegan says 'publicity will make them get off their backsides' - 'them' being those schools... Exclusive from @jasminenorden

At TEAL we tried to remove question on previous salary from application forms as it exacerbates gender pay gap. We use @TES_jobs @tes & have been told it can't be tailored. We do NOT pass info to shortlisting panels but call on TES to scrap it #WomenEd @ViviennePorritt

It will be lovely to see them focussing on cleaning & catering staff, lunchtime supervisors, TAs, admin teams who are on the front line & are crucial in keeping schools going. The coverage they give to all the schools with 97-98% attendance will be lovely to see

Twice in the last week I’ve bought beer in the supermarket while wearing a face mask and I haven’t been asked to remove it to check my age. I can only conclude I have a creased forehead and wrinkly eyes 😂
