asked teachers who’ve been in the classroom longer than 15 years what the biggest change has been. Thousands replied, I’ve collated them with a little help from Al 😉 Here’s a run down of what came out... If you’ve been teaching 15+ years... does this reflect your experience?

Yesterday Julia travelled up to Westminster to address the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Ofsted and School Inspection. Once again, it is heartening to know that there are MPs who value our perspective on Ofsted. Here is Julia’s powerful speech, it was very well received:
Mr P gives a powerful overview of Spielman's contribution to education, and why she's not a fit and proper person to be elevated to the House of Lords. Thank you Lee, your voice carries much further than mine ever could and it's reassuring to hear your perspective as an educator.
"This is what terrified Ruth Perry!"

We've hit an amazing £75,000 for our fundraiser for Alice and Bebe in just over 24 hours!
Our Headteacher, Jinnie Payne, has commented, saying: “We’re absolutely delighted and overwhelmed by the huge generosity of the British public over the last 24 hours as we have broken through the £75,000 mark of funds raised.
“We still have a long way to go and will continue to bang the drum for the #ChurchtownPlayground, so that our school can commemorate Alice and Bebe in the way they deserve.
“Every donation, big or small, helps us towards our goal – from £5 contributed by some to the anonymous donor who has kindly donated £3000. Let’s push on to our target, and beyond!”
