AND now we are on Twitter. Parents & carers campaigning for much needed improvements in the way the @TedWraggTrust manage our kids & our schools https://t.co/MufmD26XFH @DevonLiveNews @BBCSpotlight @ExpressandEcho

I bet most of them had been forced to work under shitty Academy and Trust systems....

[Schools Week @SchoolsWeek]

🚨Nearly 40,000 teachers quit the profession last year for reasons other than retirement - the highest in recent record and 7,800 more than in 2020-21

@JackWorthNFER described the figures as 'hugely concerning'

Brilliant from @ProcessEdu

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@ProcessEdu Thank you for this thread. You are quite right, and I represent one of 700 parents in the south west whose children suffer mental harms as a result of the current draconian behaviour systems. Schools are unpleasant places to be; it shouldn't be like that.

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@NEUnion Hopefully the crisis in education references Academies and Trusts creaming off the cash and providing sub-standard education and super-sized punishments to our kids?

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@ExeterCouncil do YOU have any control over schools? Parents are losing hope, children are self-harming or avoiding school altogether. The @TedWraggTrust is a malignant monopoly that we did not ask for and our children cannot endure.

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

Lots of talk about school attendance. But in @Devon they are wrong to blame it on Covid. It's the fault of the shocking academy/trust schools' systems and the horrendous punishments inflicted on our children. Isn't it, @QEcrediton ? @DevonLiveNews

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@DevonAdmissions what provision is available for children who suffer such mental harms that they can no longer attend @TedWraggTrust schools? They are a monopoly. You need to step up. @RobHannafordExe

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@WestExeSchool we have more complaints from parents, carers, children and even teachers about you and your horrible mismanaged behaviour policies than any other @TedWraggTrust school.

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@CathyKnew @TedWraggTrust @educationgovuk @hanstentiford @RobHannafordExe This is one of the WORST of the @TedWraggTrust schools, Cathy.

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@Astrea_Sparx @StIvoAcademy @CottenhamVC @SparxMaths So? Is that because you punish children who can't do their homework? Homework completion is the lamest thing you could possibly celebrate.

Are all Academy-run schools shit?

[Warwick Mansell @warwickmansell]

The report also found, based on an FOI, that the DfE is employing 555 officials to work in its Regional Director offices, overseeing academies. This is a new tier of oversight which did not exist before academies programme was expanded at scale under Michael Gove.

[Warwick Mansell @warwickmansell]

The 50 largest academy trusts had 167 people paid £130,000 or more, compared to only 24 within the 10 LAs – even though the two groupings had roughly the same number of pupils under their oversight.

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

Ahem, @TedWraggTrust time to go on a diet.

[Warwick Mansell @warwickmansell]

New: Academy trusts wasting millions of pounds on highly-paid managers
https://t.co/wPphDJqBvS
Possibly the most extensive trawl of academy accounts ever, plus analysis of LA accounts and FOIs, finds large MATs spending 8x as much per pupil on £130k+ managers as are large LAs.

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

An @Isaexeter parent shared that after the flooding, their kid had to wear black trainers, as approved shoes still soaked. Result = Reset! @TedWraggTrust you (and ISCA) are an absolute joke. Check our website for even WORSE stories about these fools! https://t.co/MufmD26XFH

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

@RogersHistory But the punishment for forgetting a pencil is the same as the punishment for insulting a teacher. The punishment for the wrong style of shoe is the same as for intimidation. This is what we are incensed about and why we will campaign until it changes. https://t.co/MufmD26XFH

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

Whoever thought twenty minutes for as a lunch break would do for our kids @TedWraggTrust? I bet you private school kids are not punished like this. No social time, no time to eat or use the (policed) toilets. It's unacceptable. @WestExeSchool

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

Hello @Ofstednews why can't you see the problems staring you in the face at academies like the @TedWraggTrust ? https://t.co/MufmD26XFH

[Turning in Ted's Grave @failingtedwragg]

Regulation of academies and trusts needs to be sorted, too. Kids are literally punished for behaving like kids, daily. https://t.co/MufmD26XFH

[Chris Watts @cw_watts]

Fantastic article on why there needs to be a complete overhaul of OFSTED and its operations. Give some likes and follows to @NWBylines and the Byline team in your area for independent, professional journalism in your area #OFSTED #NotFitForPurpose

Nice bit of PR. Shame you turned off comments for the video. Are you afraid of parents who won't fall in line and agree with your ridiculous behaviour policies @WestExeSchool ?

[West Exe School @WestExeSchool]

Take a look at the Ted Wragg Trust video released recently! 📽️
