@educationgovuk @Ofstednews you made a public commitment to actively promote mental health and wellbeing in May 2021. This was to ‘be reviewed in 2023’. Can we ask that this starts now, before any other inspections take place? @GillianKeegan @MindCharity

This editorial says exactly what needs to be said about the battle parents face to get the special educational provision and support their children need and to which they are entitled by law. https://t.co/oodGkf96qE

@educationgovuk I wonder why the unfunded pay deal was rejected

Anything to do with #sen for example being shortchanged by 63% or teachers upto 32%

Hardly in childrens interest #GeneralElectionN0W

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Congratulations @HumzaYousaf on your election as new SNP leader. As Scotland’s first ethnic minority First Minister, the significance of this moment cannot be understated. Scotland and London have much in common, and I look forward to working with you.

[Imogen BoSmith @imogenbosmith]

@WhistleblowingT 100% not worth your mental health. If you can be bothered to fight sounds like you’d have a case, but if you can’t then bow out gracefully. Life is too short to be badly managed by people like this. Look for your next SENCO adventure - it’s an amazing role! Good luck

I'll never forget my first Ofsted lesson observation, as an NQT, when they said I couldn't rely on this level of energy to engage and enthuse my class as it would diminish as I got older. I hope they get to watch this, 20 years later. 🤔

“It seems some teachers took stock and decided on jobs that were better paid, less pressured and offer hybrid working, while graduates are less attracted to teaching for the same reasons”: my comments @ASCL_UK⁩ on today’s bleak ⁦@TheNFER⁩ report: https://t.co/3H7qkLFj5Q

Kindness counts! 🧡

[victoria english @VenglishWell]

Please have #compassion for all that makes you human. We all will fail, need help, experience self doubt and be imperfect. Do not let social media or anyone else tell you otherwise.
Be kind to yourself.
Sending love to all souls struggling this will pass #mentalhealth

Schools are having to run an ‘unofficial network of welfare support’ for pupils, says @ASCL_UK's @Evelynforde1 as @WalkerWorcester warns that 'a whole system response’ is needed because ‘it can't all be dealt with by the education sector and by teachers’

@WhistleblowingT Sounds easy to me - get out as soon as you can. This is cruelty. This behaviour shouldn’t be expected anywhere- I don’t know places get away with it. Not every school is like this

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

Why aren’t any OFSTED inspectors refusing to inspect? Everyone has a choice to make. Radio silence from everyone in that organisation speaks volumes.

[Tes magazine @tes]

As international research suggests teaching the same class for more than a year has a positive effect on attainment, attendance and behaviour, @AlexJQuigley considers if the practice could work in England

Tonight we welcome the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan ☪️

I want to thank London’s Muslims, not only for your enormous contribution to our city, but for showcasing London’s caring and compassionate values.

From my family to yours: #RamadanMubarak

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

London is now the first major city in Europe to host a spectacular light display to mark Ramadan.

It’s a true symbol of how our capital celebrates our diversity.

[Flora @FloraSCooper]

The highlight at the end of today for all of the team, was being visited by Julia Waters (Ruth Perry's sister) and daughter.

This is our WHY.

We can't forget why we are fighting this fight.

[Imogen BoSmith @imogenbosmith]

@FloraSCooper Wow this is incredible. It shouldn’t have had to come to this but it has, and you and your team have been the talk of the education community today. So many schools thinking of you, willing you on. You had and do have so much support. Thank you for your strength and courage 🙌🏼

[Flora @FloraSCooper]

Been in touch with many headteachers. I am organising a meeting of minds to unite us all in person to discuss ways forward as a 'collaborative group'. Need to keep the momentum going now.

THE SYSTEM CHANGES NOW!

Info re: dates & venue will be shared soon.

You interested?

[Tes magazine @tes]

.@Ofstednews should undertake 'an immediate review of the impact of inspections on the wellbeing of school and college leaders and staff', says @RealGeoffBarton as unions urge the watchdog to pause inspections after the death of head Ruth Perry
