Apparently today is National School Business Leaders day! This is a friendly reminder that education is not a business it is something every child is entitled to reading and writing should come before profits and margin. #NationalSBL

@StBenedictsRCPS They were absolutely amazing. Well done everyone.

[Darren Currington GT @CurringtonGt]

Never to old to start learning something new.

I am surprised the figure isn’t higher. Music: Quarter of schools missing one-hour-a-week target #musiceducation #music #education https://t.co/MlbUAuZ8vc

@StBenedictsRCPS Amazing. Well done all.

Well it seems that @SwaleHeating think it is perfectly acceptable to leave a 70+ year old man without heating or hot water for a week because “they are busy” #CustomerService

This makes me so angry. Especially when I used to go into a school that was part of one of these trusts and they told me instrumental lessons had to stop as they couldn’t afford to fund it anymore.

Let’s just remember the arts are not important and no one is really interested in them anymore.

@DeborahAnnetts @ISM_music As a member of @ISM_music and as someone that works alongside/with a hub I fully support this idea. @ISM_music let’s make this happen.

[Deborah Annetts @DeborahAnnetts]

Also just pondering if @ISM_music should run some kind of campaign around the hub restructure since there does seem to be a lack of clear rationale behind these changes. What do you think?

[Darren Currington GT @CurringtonGt]

Tell me again how #music isn’t that important in #schools
