Vote for my friend @Daley_thompson who has been one of the few elite sports men who has firmly backed female athletes to safe & fair sport, just as males still get. He knows it, I know it, you know it, but most keep their heads down - he hasn’t 🏆 still a champion

We are very proud to support the brilliant @StarAcademies today as a sponsor at its annual awards and as part of our long-standing partnership with Star and @MuftiPatel. 👏

No I’m afraid this is not one of the academy freedoms at all. All state schools are bound by the same admissions regulations and the same statutory duties in this regard. Perhaps we can have a chat about this?

[Leora Cruddas CBE @LeoraCruddas]

A most beautiful and timely article from @MuftiPatel. It speaks to what is most important.

[John Dickens @JohndickensSW]

Real naive of Labour to put out half-baked proposals on academy pay

Without clearly articulating why and how, it has set off widespread concern and it’s unsurprising staff and trusts are reacting strongly

Reforming the SEND system is urgent and essential and we need to work in partnership with parents and across the sector to do this well.

I am pleased to have been asked to lead this group and to make a contribution to this important work.
