I am proud to call Sufian both a colleague and a friend. This is a hugely inspiring read. While a great story of overcoming adversity, it should not be this way. Thank you @unleashing_me for sharing your #Leadership story 👏

📅Day 2-Disadvantage is funded at least one-third higher in secondary schools than in 16-19 education, despite England having a compulsory education age of 18 and a disadvantage gap that continues to widen post-16.

@TomBewick @NPorter_ @XXFactorFacts @get_further @bphillipsonMP My crystal ball 🔮 says that the CAR will retain the Condition of Funding E&M requirement. 00000s more young people now have these gateway qualifications, who would not have without. It has transformed life prospects and opportunities

My first Armistice Day in Clevedon and @ClevedonPierG1 didn’t disappoint. A wonderful #RemembranceSunday service

Another day, another research report highlighting that low prior attainment is the significant barrier preventing progression to level 3 courses - this time highlighting the barrier to STEM for disadvantaged young people. 100% agree with the call for a 16-19 Student Premium.

Today at @OakNational, we’ve made available something we don’t think has ever been done before:

A high-quality, openly licenced model of the entire national curriculum, right down to the lesson level.

Some more info on this is below 🧵...

My #BigListen takeaways, from the OI forum: 1. There are 15,000 OIs in-waiting, 2. Ofsted Academy will see HMIs returning/ seconded back into the sector and 3. Martyn Oliver is great, refreshing to see HMCI having walked the walk

Thank you @DanAldridgeWSM for raising awareness of the fantastic work of @UCWeston and @westoncollege supporting access and participation in #HE. For so many #HE in #FE is transformative 👏

[Dan Aldridge MP @DanAldridgeWSM]

I was pleased to ask a question of the Education Secretary of State @bphillipsonMP today.

Since 2016, @UCWeston has provided higher education in our town, enabling people to get high-level, high-value skills and knowledge, closer to home.

Under @UKLabour, the @officestudents has an opportunity to deliver a sharper focus on breaking down barriers to opportunity and improve life chances in towns like Weston. I hope OfS takes this opportunity eagerly and with both hands.

Thank you, Secretary of State, for the opportunity to ask my question and to raise the profile of Weston's growing #HigherEd sector.
