One of the single most important pieces of journalism on the Post Office in recent months. Staunton’s candour (if he’s telling the truth) reveals the entrenched attitudes behind the govt/PO facade.

Thank you to @branwenjeffreys and the team who have helped share the challenge faced by #PFI schools.

The ability to deliver education without disruption should be a priority and costs for contracts should not impact of provision

We’ve been working on the costs facing PFI schools alongside colleagues - to hear more listen tonight 8pm ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ then after ⁦@BBCSounds⁩ BBC Radio 4 - The Great PFI Debt# https://t.co/hM1DXJJPS8

This is what one PFI school is dealing with - this happened one day when I was there - while some schools told us the buildings were good & well maintained- that is not the experience of this Oldham secondary. I saw huge bundles of evidence

What a superb film

When we met these children at school in Devon on a cold winter morning, I knew what they told us would shock viewers. They were studying - or trying to - in coats and gloves.

Many kids struggle because of the state of our school buildings. #Panorama #BritainsCrumblingSchools

More than 1.6 million people have now read Ruth’s story in her own words. We were privileged to help tell her story. I.N.A.D.E.Q.U.A.T.E - Ruth Perry’s despair in handwritten notes - BBC News ⁦⁦@branwenjeffreys⁩ https://t.co/eK4mLFDfEV

[Sallie George @salliegeorge]

So grateful to the headteachers who spoke to us for this piece. All of them said they wanted to speak out because of Ruth Perry.

"it was the first time I screamed" Julia Waters tells @BBCWomansHour about the interview they did with Amanda Spielman two weeks ago - describing it as a kick in the guts

[branwen jeffreys @branwenjeffreys]

Please watch & share our half hour film- the story of #RuthPerry and the wider debate about the mental distress of headteachers and school inspections + what could be done

[Sallie George @salliegeorge]

One of the Ofsted inspectors who visited Ruth Perry’s school said it was not unusual for headteachers to cry during inspections, in his experience https://t.co/DJMdgrBeOf

All 420 children at the Bradford primary will now be offered free school dinners through the winter and until the end of the summer term. Staff were overwhelmed and moved to tears by the generosity of the public. ⁦@branwenjeffreys⁩ https://t.co/xjvleVtMY1
