A library can still be the only place in a child’s week where nobody is measuring them. No score. No level. No group name. Just the chance to take a book and be left alone with it.

I must have spoken to well over 100 headteachers across the country recently and they're all saying the same things:

Many, many more pupils with complex SEND needs.
More challenging behaviour and at a younger age.
Too little specialist provision.
Frustrated families.
Social Services bar too high.
Public services skint and burnt out staff.
No real Ofsted reform.
Falling birth rates.
People are angry.
Communities in despair.
Funding that’s nowhere near enough.

Schools are holding the system together but it’s becoming unsustainable - they can't keep asking more and more of staff, with less and less. Something has to give.

Without urgent reform and real investment, I'm worried that this could be the year we've all known was coming and education finally breaks.

@DeputyGrocott The Museums, Hyde Park, Kew Gardens & St James’ Park are a must.

Nurture isn’t a room, restorative isn’t just a set of questions, kindness isn’t weakness and exclusion isn’t a behaviour strategy
