@ameliacradford Sadly this is Tory policy - not an accidental byproduct of "austerity". May & her advisors do not feel shame - they feel they have completed a task successfully and can now tick destruction of state education off their list,
Watched #school tonight and was really upset by the whole programme.The stress on Staff was palpable & many seemed to be on the edge of tears throughout.What a disgraceful situation when cuts mean enough teachers cannot be employed to teach all subjects!No support either.Shocking
@MaryBoustedNEU When Theresa May's council forcibly removed Bisham's HT with a locksmith in tow in Nov 2014 resulting in staff going on sick leave or quitting - our small school spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on a revolving door of supply teachers as pupils & standards plummeted.
Just watched #School and in utter shock. Children being failed , teachers being failed and the answer is more inspections and more pressure. The whole situation just felt utterly desperate.
Brings back bad memories of how Bisham's loved HT Jim Cooke & long serving staff were treated by Ofsted & RBWM (they came in at 3.15 with a locksmith & changed locks/took keys off staff infront of 5 yr olds despite promising 24hrs earlier they'd "work with the school & parents"
BBC Two's #School is laying bare the extent of cuts and the recruitment crisis, writes @RogersHistory. But most of all, it's showing in stark details the limits and failures of Ofsted https://t.co/xx59A5MiYh
Wonder when some bright reporter will finally track down what really was at the bottom of the scandalous takeover of Bisham & its subsequent dramatic decline in pupils & standards but massive rise in investment and staff turnover...There is an untold story here no doubt...
Are our council insiders right about bitter rows between key senior figures esp Dudley & Alexander prior to her shock departure. Tarrantino teaches us that avarice & dubious ideologies make people strange bedfellows - when the shit hits the fan they tend to turn on each other...

Some of our borough contacts have asked if the Bisham scandal could have anything to do with Ms Alexander choosing to walk the plank rather than face difficult questions from stretched local schools about why Bisham has had so much money spent on it when less than 50 pupils.
If I had a pound for each time the Tories claimed funding was at record levels, when in fact it has fallen in real terms, I'd have a shitload of pounds.

Strange events in Theresa May's rotten borough RBWM. The sudden departure of MD Alison Alexander has caused people to ask what is really going on? Our council sources hint misspending & mishandling of money in the borough could be the root cause - true? https://t.co/P8MhD4HXCl

Everything you need to know about Republican "values" is summed up by the fact that the new GOP tax plan raises taxes on people with cancer and lower taxes on people with private jets.

One minute Labour are out of touch metropolitan liberals, the next they are the BNP. One minute Corbyn loves the IRA the next it’s Russia and then white nationalism. It’s student politics but then it’s the EDL.
The establishment need to get a grip. They are sh*tting themselves.
