Reflections, 9 Dec

This judicial review was about demanding a proper consultation based on a very narrow point of law.

We are deeply disappointed the judge was not able to rule in our favour, but it is important to note that the judge did not vindicate the DfE's actions. 1/

To lose one Head may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose FIVE looks like carelessness

Just catching up with yesterday’s @CommonsEd session about the academies section of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. Some comments raised an eyebrow or two, so some thoughts to follow.

Branding at its worst - Save our SEN kids - @Autism @NationalAutism @sunflwrlanyards @NEUnion @educationgovuk

[WhistlingWolfe @WhistlingWolfe]

Homogenisation of education.
@SchoolsWeek Balance please. Biased reporting without balance and impact of MAT’s on many individual children omitted.@NEUnion @DanielKebedeNEU @StopTheMATness

[Save Holland Park School @StopTheMATness]

Needs investigating at HPS.

We’ve heard as much as £1.7 million?

Another MAT that is siphoning money from schools?

[Save Holland Park School @StopTheMATness]

Where’s the money Dame Sally?

And apparently for international women’s day as well

Indeed. And how they congratulate each other for their “services to education”

[SecretHPS @SecretHps]

Last accounts of Holland Park School 2021/2022 show a reserve of £3,258,000 with ‘no significant key factors that are likely to affect the Academy’s financial performance or position’.

I am now hearing that the school has over spent by an estimated £1,700,000.

@SecretHps Really?!

@JOukherfalla @MulberryTH Definition of blinded by ideology

[Save Holland Park School @StopTheMATness]

Let us fix that for you*

We are delighted that our Chief Executive, Louisa Mitchell, has been awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List for 2024 in recognition of her “services to children and young people (*unless they went to Holland Park School)

@StopTheMATness Don’t forget @MulberryTH Vanessa Ogden too! It’s their reward for selling our school down the river.

@dianabarran You should be embarrassed by your cheerleading this statement and your lack of understanding Diana

Do you have any comprehension what Brexit has meant for academic exchange opportunities for our kids - not to mention HE funding?

Go back under your rock

[Alison Kriel 💚 @AKLondon UpScrolled @AlisonKriel]

@GillianKeegan @TuringScheme_UK Turning: up to 40k
Erasmus: 52k+

So you're really excited to see a reduction in the numbers of students who’ll have the chance to study abroad compared to those who went under Erasmus?

What about the 100% of young people who could work in any EU country before Brexit & now?

[Save Holland Park School @StopTheMATness]

Chilling stuff

Many of us at Holland Park School despair as we witness the systematic erasure of what was unique and special about our school.

@UnitedLearning is our Big Brother but that’s how it works.

That’s what MATs do

@warwickmansell Oh yes - love those Trust-branded posters from the Ministry of Propaganda

[Save Holland Park School @StopTheMATness]

Straight out of the history books.

Totalitarian regimes know they need to control our kids

We can only hope ‘Animal Farm’ stays on the curriculum

Ofsted's à la carte inspection of Holland Park was a politically motivated farce designed to facilitate its transfer to United Learning? Everyone involved in that 'operation' should be ashamed of themselves and Ofsted should be restructured from the ground up.🧵👇🏽
