Reform UK’s #Makerfield Candidate @RobKenyonReform can’t answer a simple question.
This isn’t new politics, it’s dodging simple questions.

The teacher who builds ten minutes of free reading into every day, not assessed, not recorded, not reported, is making a long bet.
The results won't appear in this year's test scores.
They will appear years later in adults who still read for pleasure.
That return is real.
It is just invisible to the systems designed to measure it.
The best teachers make that bet anyway, and we thank them for putting small steps in place to build a love of reading.
A year ago we lost a wonderful Headteacher. Steve was not only a Headteacher but a loving Husband and Dad.
He dedicated an enormous amount time to ensuring every pupil felt valued and inspired at every school he was a part of.
His legacy will live on and he will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his family. From everyone at CLT, we miss you dearly, Steve.🤍
@BarryNSmith79 There are efficiency issues with group/paired, but there are also opportunities for things such as paired feedback etc. Early years children also need the recycling/repetition of language etc which is going to be within paired/grouped activities - ideally with an adult to support
School staff car parks are empty until 7:30am and empty again after 4:30pm.
As long as colleagues are giving children the very best of themselves during the working day, using their PPA time effectively and delivering high-quality teaching and support...
What's 👏 the 👏 problem? 👏
Many school staff are parents and carers themselves. Professionalism shouldn't be measured by how long someone's car is parked at school.
There needs to be a level of trust and flexibility that allows staff to manage the admin side of their role in a way that works around their own family commitments and wellbeing.
Judge impact, not hours spent in a car park!
