Documenting the former Education/Defence Secretary’s love of ice cream. “Would you like a Huaweifer with that??” 👀

@Waxlyricist @Rasscasse06 @Simon11037949 @SimonCalder And what do you think ‘en route’ means?

[Sir Gavin Williamson loves ice creams @GavinCreams]

@DrRebeccaTidy @InvisibleJim1 Also the small issue of insufficient suitable places for children with additional needs, and local authorities making EHCP process too hard. Good parents, their struggling children and mainstream staff are all being failed. (My child behaves well btw so no skin in game.)

@warwickmansell If they absolutely must follow targets they should take a lead from business and differentiate between frequent short-term absence around weekends and long-term absence. But leave EBSA cases out of it too.

[Sir Gavin Williamson loves ice creams @GavinCreams]

@warwickmansell We had one of these recently. We fell foul of the target due to 2 3-day absences for illnesses they wouldn’t have wanted spread around the school. First-class stamp too! 🙄 Signed by attendance officer who had done great harm to my other (autistic) child so in the bin it went 🚮

@ICT_MrP Statutory PLUS half pay for 12 weeks. Still scope for improvement but better than what is stated in the video.

@DavidW63 @kateowbridge @Silver6pence Because it commemorates events that are said to have taken place during Passover, which is scheduled in line with the first full moon of the Hebrew month of Nissan

@snickalous @Vicki69508534 @layer1hunter @LizKershawDJ And is this even still the case now that GF food is more widely available and slightly less expensive? I was having this convo with my coeliac dad at weekend; he’d forgotten he had even got bread on prescription in the past. I think a lot of it was a supply issue.

@musicteachinguk @adamboxer1 If your approach is genuinely accounting for and supporting those whose presentation is largely internalised (and who are therefore possibly not yet identified/diagnosed - the students in the original tweet), please crack on. At many such schools it isn’t.

@musicteachinguk @adamboxer1 Would you like to engage with the substance of my tweet?

[Sir Gavin Williamson loves ice creams @GavinCreams]

@JimMurrayLaw @cierzo1 It’s not about misusing ‘labels’, it’s about whether needs (often linked to formal diagnoses) are being met adequately. And good luck to a ‘SEND kid’ at Michaela hoping to pursue a special interest in eg music or computing to GCSE…

@jacobdrozario @fattmellows These responses are giving the lie to the claim that Northerners are so much friendlier 🤔

[Sir Gavin Williamson loves ice creams @GavinCreams]

@jacobdrozario @fattmellows Many of us would like to stay near family and friends though, that’s fair enough?

@gfreeman2012 @catrionamoore13 You’re being selective; as you know she goes on to reference the ‘complete process’. The complete process of obtaining an EHCP includes applying for an assessment. (Regret I can’t engage further due to our own delayed EHCP and resulting caring duties.)

[Sir Gavin Williamson loves ice creams @GavinCreams]

@gfreeman2012 @catrionamoore13 It’s in quotation marks and she goes on to refute Notts CC’s claim 🤷‍♀️

[Sir Gavin Williamson loves ice creams @GavinCreams]

@gfreeman2012 @catrionamoore13 I think that’s a question of interpretation; her words are ‘complete the entire process’. She’s quoting a member of Notts CC with ‘20 weeks from assessment’.

@MichaelTakeMP It’s got to be Sir Gavin

[Sir Gavin Williamson loves ice creams @GavinCreams]

@TheInfoCouncil He’s been busy eating ice creams and campaigning for recognition of Somaliland

Oh yes… 🍦
