Rich consultants with no track record of running schools then deleting Twitter because those actually doing the work argue with them is… well actually not a new one at all.

He’ll be back. It’s a route to ££.

We are at about forty now and I’m going to be in a lot of trouble because about a dozen more are in the process of registering so if you missed out we will add you to our list.
Bedford Free School is one of the best schools I've been in for how it manages behaviour and promotes culture.

And we are opening our doors. I don't think the DFE have promoted this well, but on Thursday 12th November, from 8am-2pm, we're sharing everything.

This is not ok.
Ofsted’s top grade – ‘exceptional’ – is not something it can ‘simply define’, a senior HMI tells teacher-training providers

This is from a case study in one of the most high-profile bits of oracy advocacy.

The profession needs to resist pressure to do this, rather than appease the clueless politicians forcing this on us.

@StuartLock Agree.
I got fed up of people in the political party I was in, or who had similar views to me, throwing around moronic terms like right-wing, fascist, authoritarian, neo-liberal etc to describe policies that TUs would happily have supported from the 1950s -1990s.
It is grim.

The most annoying thing of the last 16 years in education, from someone who "hails from the left" (Gibb and Peal), is that we allowed the agenda of standards and safety to be known as the Govian/ Gibb agenda or era.

We should have been arguing with them about resources, about how to fund it and taxation, about the detail, and about the impact getting to *even more* poor young people - it's still not good enough that in one LA I work in disadvantaged kids have a 25% chance of reaching EXS.

What we shouldn't have been doing is giving them the standards agenda.

Under Bridget Phillipson, though I disagreed with very much, Labour were clear that standards and safety (behaviour) matter - especially for the poorest.

I fear Labour are now abandoning this again.

Our excellent attendance team send this out across the trust every Friday. It means we are super-transparent about our data. BFS is doing quite well this year, but are eager to improve further.

You can find out more and visit next week. See quoted tweet.

Everyone is convinced they personally have integrity until they don’t, and then that’s what the money is to pay for.
