Thanks to everyone who’s followed and supported @ActionTutoring and @ImpetusUK here over the years.
Huge congratulations on your MBE @Susannah_AT!🎉
This is testament to your hard work building @ActionTutoring, so thousands of young people can progress in education and employment.
We have worked with you for 10 years, and are excited for you to join us as our CEO next week!
I'm coming into land on my final week at Action Tutoring... Attempting to sum up over 12 years of this extraordinary journey is near impossible. However, I've had a stab at synthesising it all down to 12 reflections on 12 years, here: https://t.co/XAmwj2KyrD
Raising ££ for “Mummy’s charity” and it’s a win win as he can now apply for his silver Blue Peter badge for doing something kind for other people! Proud of my little chap 😄
If we are serious about early intervention in schools to stop criminality later on, we really need to focus on literacy and numeracy!
- 71% of prisoners have lower literacy skills than the average 11 year old.
- About 1 in 5 prisoners are at or below the level of a 5-7 year old.
2/2 Tutoring can be one of the most powerful ways to support pupils, but it must be safe and regulated properly. I hope that action will be taken in light of this and in the meantime I'm proud of the safeguarding and quality standards that we hold ourselves to at @ActionTutoring
1/2 I have repeatedly flagged concerns about the lack of regulation in the tutoring industry to @educationgovuk, MPs and Ministers over the last few years. Saddened to read those concerns have come to fruition. https://t.co/ZqXjtKCkYl
Thank you @RetirementTales for bringing your joy, astute insights, nostalgic reflections and gentle humour to education, I've loved following your posts the last few years and you'll be missed - but enjoy a very well deserved retirement!
An Announcement:
"All Good Things..." 🧵
Margaret and I came out of retirement back at the very start of 2022.
At that time, schools were struggling with staff shortages and the then Education Secretary launched a campaign to encourage retired teachers back into classrooms.

Thank you to the wonderful work of @ActionTutoring tutors, who support and encourage our pupils in both English and Maths twice a week. Tutoring takes place during the school day to eliminate any barriers to attending and also ensures tutees are fresh and ready to learn.
#LPC24 today saw more sunshine which meant for inspiring conversations outside! Exploring health and education inequalities links with the brilliant @BecksFisher, catching up with soon to be colleagues @brgadsby & @SteveHaines101 and time with the wonderful Hannah O.
I’ve listened to some fantastic panels today but a highlight of #LPC24 so far has also been some brilliant chats putting education to rights just sat on the floor with these inspiring women!@sarahjwaite @annatreth@juliecmcculloch
