“Only about 10% of school achievement can be attributed to schools and teachers while the remaining 90% is due to characteristics associated with students.”

A fascinating finding from a fascinating paper

[Prof Michael Green FCCT @Michael_S_Green]

🚨 Really important research published today regarding the link between pupil attendance & attainment in Key Stages 2 and 4. Highly recommend reading. The findings are very concerning. https://t.co/5vi7edYDL5

Want to lead? Stop being “nice".

Kind leaders are honest, even when it’s uncomfortable.

“Nice” leadership holds people back, here’s why:

Too many leaders mistake being nice for being kind.

Being "nice" doesn’t solve problems.

It doesn’t build trust or push people to grow.

It simply avoids conflict, leaving issues unresolved.

Think about a time when your leader was just "nice." They:

Avoided conflict
Ignored problems
Sugarcoated feedback

Maybe it felt good at first, but did you really grow from it?

Being kind is different.

Leadership isn’t a popularity contest.

It’s about creating a space where people feel:

Challenged
Supported
Trusted

Kindness does that.

Niceness doesn’t.

🚨 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
