England's children's commissioner is supporting the idea of using summer schools and longer school days to help pupils catch up on lost learning, warning that one in six children may never be able to catch up on lost school time

@YeovilCollege Maybe a grammar check wouldn't go amiss if you would like that post to be taken seriously.

#autism is not linear. Also, please stop using the terms ‘high functioning’ and ‘low functioning’ #edutwitter #send #senco

When I talk to teenagers in prison they can tell me exactly at what points things got worse for them and what/who could have helped. Many times it’s at primary school. Sometimes before. The social & economic costs of ignoring kids who need help just get bigger as time goes on.

[SEBDA @SebdaOrg]

These pupils are often highlighted very early on, sometimes passed on to other agencies, excluded or ignored. The challenges these children face in & out of school will not disappear. Adults who go the extra mile to support them can be the difference #nurture #trauma #SEND

And if you think that children with SEND aren't being failed in most of the other 56%, then boy do I have news for you

[SEBDA @SebdaOrg]

Exclusion rates are rising & for younger children. System which is increasing formal, desk based education from a younger age does not support children who have missed out on play or have nurture gaps & struggle with demands. Their 'needs' are often developmentally appropriate.

Amazing day at @WPNSA for #RJC2018 in the onboard fleet. Thanks to the @ASWCentres coaches for making it so much fun! Inspirational for young sailors. @RYAYouthSailing

[Anthony Judge @Ant_Judge]

I’m convinced every NQT should spend their first year teaching at schools like @StThomasPRU & @The_Eden_School

Awesome schools who develop resilient, creative and empathic young people.

Learn how to truly teach kids before being consumed by data!

NHS may turn away autism referrals to manage long waiting lists. This is unethical. Autism simply needs more funding https://t.co/ddtwra52D1
