We’re resetting the relationship between the government and teachers, so we can be partners in the push for better once again.

No more silly games. We will treat the workforce, and their trade unions, with the dignity and respect they deserve.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Early years is about more than just childcare – it’s about giving every child the best start in life. It sits right at the centre of my vision for education.

We'll deliver a sea change in our early years system, and that work begins now.

Today, the Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP wrote to the education sector on how we will work together to give every child the best start in life, drive high and rising standards and break down barriers to opportunity.

Everyone should learn about @milton_damian's double empathy problem to remind themselves if they don't 'get' an autistic person's communication, the responsibility is as much theirs as the other person's to acknowledge the differences and make changes.

@achalagupta @bsaeducation @R_LehnerMear Thank you @achalagupta , Ramona, Anastasia and Michele for a great discussion... teaching should be valued as one of the core bedrocks in society, but sadly teachers are often portrayed as the bad guys. This needs to change in order to re-invigorate both pupils and staff.

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.

Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

Your support really does matter.

Staff at the John Rankin Schools appear to make a statement outside the school gates. Headteacher Flora Cooper tweeted yesterday, saying that she would refuse entry to Ofsted inspectors following the death of fellow headteacher Ruth Perry in January

[Flora @FloraSCooper]

Can I please get everyone here tomorrow? Would you show up?

John Rankin School, Newbury
Who would support? I'm doing this!
Help! I don't know what this will look like!

Please? For #RuthPerry

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

Every Lead Ofsted Inspector should have experience of being a Head Teacher.

And should spend 1 day a week working in schools.
