Been in teaching for nearly 30 years - 20 yrs as a HT. Jt. Branch Sec for BANESNAHT. Views expressed are my own. Honoured to support teaching as FCCT.

Does anyone have a way of contacting Jurgen Klopp?

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

Maybe the privatised ‘postal / parcel companies ‘ can contribute to the non- profit-making ‘universal letter service’… surely they can’t have it both ways 🤷

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

To all those amazing teachers and support staff out there (& especially in B&NES 😉), Happy Teachers’ Day and THANK YOU!! @NAHTnews

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

We continue to battle on with DfE and Ofsted in the background- we won’t let it go @NAHTnews

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

Has anyone noticed that OFSTED have passed through the events of Ruth Perry without implementing any of the major changes called for?

‘Sorry’ means nothing without some action to go with it.

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

… and extend that to our illustrious Govt. leaders…@NAHTnews

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

We can't expect students to be respectful to each other in schools if the adults aren't.

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

Something else for the new HMCIs in-tray !

[Tes magazine @tes]

The @tes news team put @Ofstednews under the microscope for your big Friday reads…

Four in 10 senior inspectors employed by Ofsted in the past three years have never been a headteacher, @CharlotteSantry can reveal

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

How many Ofsted inspectors have ever been a headteacher? | Tes https://t.co/HIhFzdGStu

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

This problem has been known for quite sometime- why has it taken so long for DfE to catch up? @NAHTnews

[Gillian Keegan @GillianKeegan]

Ensuring children and staff are safe in education will always be my top priority

A statement on how we’re addressing Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in schools and colleges 👇

Details here: https://t.co/IvduVmsdf2

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

Absolutely bonkers and so unnecessary for all those poor school staff and families. We’ve been asking about this concrete in JCNCs for at least the last year!! Incompetence and yes - take responsibility SoS @NAHTnews

[Paul Garvey. @PaulGarvey4]

Bonkers, Just four days before the start of term. These poor HTs, staff and especially kids. Wait until it comes out that Keegan has known about this for months. She won't resign, of course, as she'd never accept that level of responsibility, would she?

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

Too few school staff, paid far too little, work excessive hrs., too little Ed. Investment which will ultimately make Britain poorer… Govt. definitely needs a numeracy day to help them understand the problem 😳 @NAHTnews

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

Get ready to celebrate #NationalNumeracyDay on the 17th of May!

Watch @harrybakerpoet show you how to use rap to make maths fun.

Let’s get counting!

Get involved: https://t.co/1uU5NJpAkw

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

Maybe if the DfE worked with education profession they’ll find a valuable source of guidance to inform these world gatherings. Must be very embarrassing going into a world forum with a broken education system that can’t recruit new talent & loses old talent too quickly @NAHTnews

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

The education sector faces similar challenges across the World. This is why attending the G7 Education Ministers’ Meeting is critical.

I’m sure Jacob would want to contribute more to balance the Govts. books 😊

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

Absolutely- a Govt. Inflicted mess! Some of us ‘oldies’ have been screaming this from the rooftops for some time.. just hope, at last, that all forces are aligned to make sure we change things! @naht

[Mr B 🙋‍♂️ @MrB_online]

It's really coming to a head now for education...

👉 Funding
👉 SATS
👉 @Ofstednews
👉 Recruitment
👉 Retention
👉 Striking

What a mess 😬

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

We can be the change we want to see! @NAHTnews

[rob kelsall @rob_kelsall]

⚠️Our members have been clear that the current situation cannot continue.

Now is the time for school leaders to take a stand, not just for a fairer deal for themselves, but for the very future of education.

Vote YES for action ✅

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

How sad it is that colleagues need to do something so alien to our ‘professional core beliefs’ in order that the plight of schools and education receive the attention they deserve. Every blessing to you all! If not now, when? If not us, who? @NAHTnews

[Nick Newman @The_Newman_Nick]

I’m not a #teacher , but stand with those striking from @NEUnion .

next few days Govt supporting media will go on the attack with usual rhetoric of children Losing out .

Don’t fall for it.
Teachers have been doing a great job for years and suffering. They care.

[Kevin Burnett @BANESNAHT]

How can numbers say so little and seem so meaningless? When a person is starving must we say but we have given you the most crumbs ever… the person is still starving @NAHTnews

[Gillian Keegan @GillianKeegan]

We awarded teachers the highest pay rise in 30 years, and we've already met the unions’ request for an additional £2bn in school funding, which will take real terms spending on schools to its highest level in history.

Talks with union leaders will continue this week. 2/2
