❗ Claims by the education secretary that children in a school affected by RAAC actually prefer learning in their new temporary 'portacabin' have been slammed as 'embarrassing'

Stoke schools are in a PFI which ends in Oct 25! And that’s it! Little advice or guidance on moving forward and many SBMs have not worked without the safety net of an extortionate PFI contract! Any recommendations for compliance/facilities management providers etc?

My first time @The_TUC Conference and delighted to be able to support the @NEUnion motion to end child poverty.

Lots of glossy photos here of the Secretary of State for Education.
Me - I’d like to pay tribute instead to the headteachers, CEOs, and other school staff who have had to navigate their way through a crisis that was not of their making. You have been amazing.

Boy walks into reception late for school.

Receptionist says ‘late again!’

Enters building. Passing member of staff says ‘are you late again?’

On his way to class, someone else asks him for a minute. ‘Are you ok?’ They say.

Boy confides that he has no bed. 4 children in a 2 bedroom house. Mum has late nights and he gets himself ready.

Good to consider how we may greet some children in a morning.

“The education secretary’s suggestion that headteachers should drive around picking up pupils and bringing them into school strikes us as a flippant and unrealistic solution to a serious and complex problem”: my comments on behalf of ⁦@ASCL_UK⁩: https://t.co/HRMY7FqNgJ

So no option but coordinated industrial action. So be it.

For the first time since 2019 today’s KS2 SATs results will be published in a format that can be easily manipulated into crude league tables to rank schools using a single metric.
Headlines like the one below are damaging, and do not help schools or parents. @NAHTnews

Answers on a postcard please?

With just two weeks until the end of the term, it’s vital that @NAHTnews members return their ballot paper.

Already thousands have told us they’ve done so, but don’t leave it to someone else to make your voice heard.

Find that ballot paper, vote YES ✅ and post it back today!

The forced academy agenda and direct link with Ofsted judgements has to go.

Just off the phone with another school who are challenging the Ofsted inspection outcome.

Here's a guide on what to do if you wish to challenge.

Don't suffer in silence. https://t.co/gNvrqa21MO
