Come to our online AGM tomorrow to hear more about the next steps for getting better SEND funding and accountability.

The union has over 900 officials across the nations ensuring that our growing membership gets the very best support in the workplace and crucially are campaigning for the very future of education.
Really looking forward to seeing @gfreeman2012 in Lincoln in April! Tickets are going fast- if you’d like to find out more about the legal side of SEND in education- you won’t want to miss this! https://t.co/kn68GPj2Gi
This Conservative Government is trying to rig the rules to work in their favour because they know they’ve lost the support of the public.

What a game Test cricket is. Cut to the bone but still a different level to every other format. Its death is a paradigm of dumb consumerism. Money and margins tell you to make a worse product. At the end of which you have money, for a while, and a worse product for ever
Remember when @michaelgove said categorically that a Leave vote would have zero consequences for Brits living in France, Spain, Greece and all the EU/FoM countries?
... watch this space.
I do not agree with @martyneoliver that ofsted is 'vital' to the process of running schools. It is one way to monitor and influence, but there are other ways and - in memory of Ruth Perry - I believe absolutely that this is the time to disband ofsted and form a new system.
I hope someone who fits these criteria will take them up and articulate how tough it is waiting for 'the call'.
Any of you headteachers that are now back in the Ofsted window? https://t.co/IqCdAOLSr2 via @UKChange
There is now a strong consensus that Ofsted’s current inspection model is no longer fit for purpose, nor is it a force for good.
Today we publish a new report, Rethinking School Inspection, which makes seven recommendations for systemic reform (Thread 👇)
The Ofsted training has, as far as I can tell, had zero impact on how staff feel about inspections & being 'in the window'. The impact of the pause & not waiting for 'the call' has been immeasurable.
I know I’ve said this before but I’m sure that the majority of school policies could be written by the DfE with just minor tweaks required to be made by the school.
