@lucyfishwife It was! Lovely to meet you! Here are some tentacles🐙 🐙 🐙

(And I DID get chips on the way home. Perfect!)

And my secondary school, of almost 2000 students, doesn’t have a library at all. 😞
So, yeah…..

🚨 NEW: We’re scrapping single headline Ofsted judgements with immediate effect.

Ofsted judgements have been high stakes for schools, low information for parents.

We’ll:

✅ Give parents more transparency
✅ Drive high & rising standards
✅ Pave the way for school report cards

The next exhibition at @britishlibrary will be Medieval Women: In Their Own Words (October 25th) & YES we will have a beautiful book to accompany it.

This is a very exciting day for anyone who loves forming possessives and plurals of proper nouns ending in sibilants.

@MollyAitken1 So Femina is good- very badass non fiction and great summary. Matrix by Lauren Groff is fiction, but based on a real person. Also great. For thy great pains is good- sort of fiction, but uses a lot of the real words of Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich.

Possibly my greatest ever purchase. Bayeux Tapestry bedsheet!

Yes I bought it after a couple of glasses of wine. No I don’t regret it.

Teachers are getting a well-deserved pay rise.

The Conservatives left the profession overstretched and undervalued. We said we’d change that, and we meant it.

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

We welcome the announcement today that teachers will be awarded a fully funded 5.5% pay award. This is a necessary first step in reversing the real terms cuts inflicted upon the profession over the last 14 years. #ValueEducators

@katiehall1979 @apattersonlee 😱 WHY!?

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

@katiehall1979 @apattersonlee Literally still scared right now.

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

@katiehall1979 For the love of god, @katiehall1979! That episode with the small man on the squeaky cart. STILL not suitable for me, or @apattersonlee, or any of the children. Series 8 I think.

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

It’s the kids that keep you in the job. They are brilliantly bonkers.

Here are two portraits of me different students have done (I mean, just why?). One on a spoon.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

I am honoured to have been asked to serve as Secretary of State for Education.

We pledged change and we will deliver the most crucial changes of all:

High and rising standards
More opportunity
The best life chances for all children

That work starts now.

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

Never forget. Vote them out.

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

It says a lot when the education secretary visits a boarding school of 350 students, and doesn’t bother with any of the 10 Wokingham borough state secondaries- that’s 10,000+ students. All those schools have just as high aspirations.

[Lucy Demery @LucyDemery]

Delighted to welcome Education Secretary @GillianKeegan to Wokingham for a visit to @LuckleyHouse. As Conservatives we’re fighting to stop left-wing plans to tax independent school families. Labour and Lib Dems are anti-aspiration and have no plan for expanding state schools.

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

So grateful to @julieacrisp for being so generous with her time and running sessions with aspiring authors yesterday evening. Thanks loads for coming!

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

Great evening yesterday hearing from Theresa May, interviewed by @jimmym at #WargraveFestival As always, she is a great speaker (whatever your political views). Thanks so much for coming!

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

We’re big fans of @Fi_BGB. Thanks so much for speaking to our two local schools yesterday. You were fabulous, had an incredible hat, did amazing things with sweet potatoes, and had 150 children singing hilarious songs.
