Keeping an independent eye on schools and education. Less likely to agree with you than you might assume. Ofsted rated "Tenacious".

I can't continue to use this platform in its current state and ownership. Thanks for the chat over the years - it was fun for a long while. I'm in another place with a mix of education, politics, cycling and personal stuff. Schoolduggery may return when I'm settled back in the UK

It seems funny that Birbalsingh can not see that the logic of her proposal here is directly analogous to letting the most disruptive school childen or the least responsible parents decide whether or not a school should have any rules!

Her balanced clarity is a breath of fresh air.

Bridget Phillipson appeared on LBC today and spoke out regarding a well publicised Observer article by Anna Fazakerley. Watch here:

With Becky leading this, her commitment to evidence and her understanding of workload challenges, I think we can be confident that this review will be helpful - particularly if everyone takes the opportunity to engage in the consultations.

.@bphillipsonMP has today launched the curriculum and assessment review, with a call for evidence in September and promises to consult widely

Here's everything schools need to know ...

Calling primary school heads!

Are you looking for a whole-school maths improvement programme?

@ArkCurriculum's Mathematics Mastery is a two-year programme that aims to deepen pupils’ conceptual understanding of key concepts.

@annatreth @CSTvoice Cheers Anna. I'm itching to get back.

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

I've been living in Germany but I am beginning to plan a route back to the UK, probably to London. I want to train to be a Clerk to Governors, ideally online this summer. The NGA course is not available to individuals. Does anyone know of alternatives? @ruthagnew @HarryZiman ?

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@HarryZiman Never retired in your head, I expect. I'm really out of touch too having been away for five years, but looking forward to getting back to it later this year if things work out.

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@_chrisrossiter Thanks Chris - too soon for me right now, but thanks for asking.

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@WirralGov @ruthagnew @HarryZiman @IGovS1 @BarkerLeadershp Must have been.

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@LoicMnzs @ruthagnew @HarryZiman Oh, thanks Loic. Still got to sort out the full plan and we will come back to Cambrridge eventually. :-)

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@meolscop1978 That looks like a good refresher of the basics but I might need something more detailed before I feel I can do a proper job. Thanks

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@ruthagnew @HarryZiman @CGIUKI Ooh, thanks. That looks like it could be the depth I will want to get into.

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@WirralGov @ruthagnew @HarryZiman Hi Jane, great to see you still going strong. I'm looking forward to connecting back with everyone once I'm back.

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@miconm @Nor_edu @ruthagnew @HarryZiman Thanks, Micon. I'll take a good look at that and will certainly want a long coffee with you once I'm back!

[Harry Brighouse @HarryBrighouse1]

Thanks so much to @xtophercook for this analytic tribute to Tim Brighouse in the FT, and to @stephenkb for handing the newsletter over to him! https://t.co/tJQDjTPLWB

[Rachel Gooch @SchoolDuggery]

@HarryBrighouse1 He was a giant. I'm so sorry.

I don't understand the motivation of those who seek to undermine ResearchEd. I saw it being born and have marvelled at the commitment and energy of Tom and his colleagues. Maybe the critics can't imagine the idea of people doing something simply because they believe it helps.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Some thoughts to set the record straight about researchED, because truth and integrity matters, even on Twitter.
