Breaking my Twitter silence to say how chuffed I am to join @WoottonTrust in the autumn. It's long had a place in my heart: I started teaching there in 2003 & my girls attend/will attend @STEMcollege . Until then: lots still to do at DfE!

I'll be off Twitter for the foreseeable, but just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely messages about the new/old job. If there's something specific you think ministers need to know or think about, DMs are open & will find their way to me. For now though: au revoir!

“One thing that I like to do, from time to time, is I just perform for the kids for a whole lesson, just to give them a sort of benchmark of how things are done, so they can see how someone at a professional industry level handles the performance side of things.”

Apparently, even though I'm Headteacher, I'm not allowed to audition for a role in the @WoottonTrust musical. #gutted

Sent out my 1st letter to @WoottonTrust families today. Think I ticked all the Lehain Bingo phrases: - "father of 4" ✅ - "warm-strict" ✅ - "ABCD of great schools" ✅ - "ignore whatever @StuartLock says about me." ✅

Will be on @theJeremyVine in a few mins to discuss the hardy perennial that is term time holidays. (The team here @WoottonUpper have been working wonders on attendance with students & families. Some great progress made this year.) 🙌

Furious to see that Bedford didn't make this list of "15 coolest neighbourhoods". Not even the "1 street away from Bedford Park" part. Unbelievable. A proper miscarriage of justice.

A mum said it was a 'no brainer' to take her daughters out of primary school during term-time, despite being fined £240 for the move. The mum said she saved £3,000 on their family holiday in Egypt. But is it right to fine parents who take their kids on holiday during term-time?
