🚨 Those from upper-middle-class backgrounds, and the privately-educated, are significantly overrepresented in the creative professions in the UK.

Our new research uncovers stark inequalities in access to careers in the creative industries, including television, film, and music 🧵

As part of an ongoing project with @FaberBooks , we are using our labels to exhibit the work of some of the UK’s most urgent writers. The latest beer in the series is guest edited by @CamilleRalphs_ and features an extract from her collection of poems After You Were, I Am.

@missdcox Congratulations! Now what’s the plan?

[Jon Coles @JonColes01]

STRB 5.5% award a major surprise (assuming true) as last govt went so hard on affordability. Can't remember pay review bodies diverging so sharply from govt steers on affordability. This is more difficult for new govt than is being recognised. 1/n

Nearly three-quarters of headteachers say they will have to increase class sizes over the next 12 months because of insufficient funding. ASCL survey published today. We call on all political parties to address the funding crisis. #EducationMatters https://t.co/PjzJS8EqZV

@ThomasWPenny @CalebParkin She’s hugely talented, so glad to hear she’s still writing 😊

[Thomas Penny @ThomasWPenny]

Just back from a wonderful poetry reading at my children's school.
This was one of my daughter's contributions to the evening.
I know I will never have the vision to write anything as beautiful as "I will unbutton the sea from the sky..."
(Thank you @CalebParkin for guiding her)

Exciting delivery @LewesPriory over the holidays for our new tutor time reading programme, thanks to the generosity and support of the Friends of Priory. Can’t wait to get started!

This is formal but here goes. The family of Sir Tim Brighouse are very sad to announce that Tim died in the John Radcliffe Hospital today after a short illness. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather and a towering figure in the word of education. 1/

"We’ve failed to look after our headteachers. We’ve failed to give them anywhere near what they need to do their jobs effectively. We’ve heaped more and more on them regardless. And then we’ve sent in inspectors to pick them apart"

Really interesting day at @KLCSchool listening to students’ presentations of their design ideas for the @LewesPriory site. Next steps: choosing our favourite ideas and then finding some funding to make them happen!
