Given what we now know about the importance of this period of life, we are dramatically under investing in the earliest years of life. Allocating even a 1/4 of per pupil school funding to infants from conception to aged 3 would be transformational and offer great VFM.

Kindred Squared

@KindredSquared

The #BigChangeStartsSmall report suggests that lost opportunities in the #earlyyears are costing £16.13 billion per year, in England alone. That’s nearly 5x total annual spend in England on early education and childcare entitlements. And it’s likely a significant underestimate...

I could see a rationale for doing this in the Spring or Summer term next year, when all pupils are back, mental health has been triaged and assessment has happened.

Optimal seems to be 3-5 sessions a week (so very frequent) for 6-12 weeks (so a term). It needs to be explicitly linked to teaching (so coordination with curriculum is going to be critical) and tutors are ideally teachers themselves.

My education gave me what I could accomplish as an adult - individual leadership. But the kind of transformational change that we work for, requires more than individual leadership, it requires the wisdom of many others, and working across differences - @wendykopp #TeachForAll

To me, this is why strong families of schools are so important. I couldn’t run a school in 2020 on my own. As part of @InspirationEast I can. Coming out of the pandemic we need to make sure all heads have the support that comes from being in a strong family of schools

@teacherhead @Andrew_Adonis Do not believe that live streaming lessons can work for the vast majority of school age children. Do think that resources and tasks without any exposition puts excessive pressure on parents to be teachers.
