What else is there to do on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday, than spend some time reflecting on the important lessons in leadership I have learnt over the past year. https://t.co/SrhFlE4Zxd

"...the need continues to rise. Since #NNoSS began, over 30,000 more children are now in special schools.

"While we welcome signs of action, we still await a coherent, strategic plan — one that addresses the root causes of systemic dysfunction in #SEND.

The Christmas present you didn’t know you needed: another SEND Inquiry!
However this one is focused on SOLUTIONS to
- stabilise the system in the short term
- develop a better-functioning system for the future.
Natspec will be responding in the new year. https://t.co/FPYhgJJAIx

Please keep an eye out for our friend Tom Smith’s equipment. It was stolen at the M1 services.

@ajjolley @branwenjeffreys As long as there is insufficient money in the whole school system and the formulae are largely based on historic cost (SEN), then there will always be issues. Imagine if schools prepared their budgets based on what things cost 3 years ago!

[Christine @dorsetsbl]

@ajjolley @branwenjeffreys Dorset wanted 0.5% about 4 years ago. Schools Forum said no, but they went to DFE who agreed to them doing it. Then came the Safety Valve program......

@DeputyGrocott Two weeks to go to in one school & and college, but only one week to go to in the other college = probably no weeks off for me.
