Been in teaching for nearly 30 years - 20 yrs as a HT. Jt. Branch Sec for BANESNAHT. Views expressed are my own. Honoured to support teaching as FCCT.


Has anyone noticed that OFSTED have passed through the events of Ruth Perry without implementing any of the major changes called for? ‘Sorry’ means nothing without some action to go with it.

We can't expect students to be respectful to each other in schools if the adults aren't.

The @tes news team put @Ofstednews under the microscope for your big Friday reads… Four in 10 senior inspectors employed by Ofsted in the past three years have never been a headteacher, @CharlotteSantry can reveal tes.com/magazine/news/…

Bonkers, Just four days before the start of term. These poor HTs, staff and especially kids. Wait until it comes out that Keegan has known about this for months. She won't resign, of course, as she'd never accept that level of responsibility, would she? bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-6…

'The state is spending too much...' says @Jacob_Rees_Mogg 👉 18% of people in absolute poverty 👉 30% of children live in poverty 👉 5.3 million people choosing between heating and eating 👉 UK dropping from 7th to 29th in global life expectancy

It's really coming to a head now for education... 👉 Funding 👉 SATS 👉 @Ofstednews 👉 Recruitment 👉 Retention 👉 Striking What a mess 😬

⚠️Our members have been clear that the current situation cannot continue. Now is the time for school leaders to take a stand, not just for a fairer deal for themselves, but for the very future of education. Vote YES for action ✅ naht.org.uk/englandballot


I’m not a #teacher , but stand with those striking from @NEUnion . next few days Govt supporting media will go on the attack with usual rhetoric of children Losing out . Don’t fall for it. Teachers have been doing a great job for years and suffering. They care.

We awarded teachers the highest pay rise in 30 years, and we've already met the unions’ request for an additional £2bn in school funding, which will take real terms spending on schools to its highest level in history. Talks with union leaders will continue this week. 2/2
