A story, on the back of this tweet. It’s about why Natasha is a star, I’m an idiot, and why government procurement and lawyers are even more so

Gutted. Their impact on public service has been immense. Thanks to Unlocked, a career as a prison officer is now among the most prestigious options for high flying graduates. It is hard to overstate that achievement!

It would be good for gvt to find a new way to work with them

[Natasha Porter OBE @NPorter_]

This is such a dreadfully sad time for @unlockedgrads. I am really hoping that the government can work with us to find a solution so we don't lose this incredible initiative from prisons across England and Wales.

In a special Trust blog post, CST's @LeoraCruddas and @TeachFirst CEO @russellhobby reflect on the relationship between politics and the teaching profession: “The foundation we need to focus on is a better education for all children.”

At our Delivery Partner conference. Hosted at the amazing Wembley High Technology College. Fantastic to see friends and colleagues from nearly 80 partners. A tonne of expertise in the room, deep commitment to teacher and leader development, and supporting each other to improve.

It’s our ‘Hub’ day today, where trainees gather in their regions after a week in school last week. I’m in London and it is great to see the enthusiasm and energy of the hundreds of trainees.

[Victoria Barlow @Barlow_Vic]

Started off in glorious sunshine, ended up drenched 😂

Still, lots of great conversations, strong support and plenty of previous tactical voters coming to @UKLabour

@matthewhood @JoshMacAlister Huge congratulations! Very well deserved.

[Russell Hobby @russellhobby]

When I was going through her things I found in her files a personal letter from Tim that she had kept for 30 years. She was one of, what, 10,000 teachers in the county? She had suffered a bereavement and he had sent his condolences.

[Russell Hobby @russellhobby]

Deeply saddened to hear this news. One of the giants of education who will be missed by us all. My thoughts are with you and all his family and friends.

A personal memory. My mum was a primary teacher in Oxfordshire during Tim’s tenure as chief ed officer…

[Harry Brighouse @HarryBrighouse1]

This is formal but here goes. The family of Sir Tim Brighouse are very sad to announce that Tim died in the John Radcliffe Hospital today after a short illness. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather and a towering figure in the word of education. 1/

@macca_mjm @TeachFirst @KirkBalk @_mrDBu Great to chat!

[Russell Hobby @russellhobby]

@MrDavidScales @AAWoodfields @TeachFirst Thanks for having us and looking after our trainees so well!

[Russell Hobby @russellhobby]

I fulfilled a long held ambition today and visited The Willow, led by Dawn Ferdinand. Amazing place and one of our long standing partners. Member of the 2012 cohort still teaching there.

[The Willow Primary @thewillowN17]

It was great to welcome @russellhobby @TeachFirst to our school and to talk to him about the amazing #impact that #TeachFirst has made to our school community. We are very proud to work in #partnerships with an organisation that shares our #Vision for #equity
