I’ve just signed @HughFW’s letter to @jeremy_hunt asking him to respond to serious questions about the obesity crisis and what government are going to do about it. Sign here https://t.co/42T5SzohO6 #BritainsFatFight
I am informed that Free Schools are no longer inspected in their first two years. Good to be corrected on an error.
It does mean that schools sit on Ofsted grades earned in that window and use these to market for students at the expense of neighbours with valid gradings. https://t.co/32hRIYUE0n
@thosethatcan@tes We must start with proper flexible working for returning mothers. 4 days a week instead of 5 is not flexible. Headteachers are stuck in the dark ages!
@DrTiffanyCarr Headteachers need to consider true flexible working, especially for returning mothers. Working 4 days instead of 5 is not flexible at all!
@TheHopefulHT @tes @TeachingSchools @WomenEd But returning mothers from maternity leave are still only being offered 4 days instead of 5. We need Heads to understand what #flexibleworking actually is and what it could do for teacher retention
According to a recent study, increasing workloads and long working hours are taking their toll on working families. By offering #flexibleworking options, employers can help workers regain a better #worklifebalance. https://t.co/3Nu33806K1
@flexandthe_city @Justice4Teacher In so many professional settings the concept of #flexible working has been to squeeze a full time job into 4 days rather than 5. It’s high time that changed. #workthatworks
@DigitalMumsHQ@Telegraph We need schools to develop flexible working for teachers. I agree with the article, the benefits are vast but school Headteachers are behind the times
