@TheSherlocks @MccccccD67x Loved the new song Time Bandit. Is it coming out as a single?

@MccccccD67x @TheSherlocks Fantastic gig. Had a great day. Set full of bangers.

.@TheSherlocks in Sheffield tonight after yesterday's 10.5 hour travel disaster 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😭 🌈+🌈

Ben Stokes is likely to return as England captain for next week’s third Test at Trent Bridge, with the findings of the investigation into his curfew breach imminent. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026/0…

@shiner_sam Yes. Seeing Bruce Foxton in Nottingham in November. The Jamd and Band Called Malice are also amazing. Have seen them both a few times. Weller still the best though.

@CSJRobertson And from the jam are still going!

Going in with a classic this week 🎯 Have a fab Sunday my dudes x #BandTeeSunday

This final half term can be a hard one for so many youngsters. Lots of other children talking about summer holidays to look forward to (when they don’t),the uncertainty of transition to high school or even a new year group,the ‘fun’ they should have as it’s summer. Keep an even closer eye on those children that are finding it hard. They may show it in different ways: tears, quiet, challenging behaviour.

@kateowbridge @PaulGarvey4 This is mostly because of the way the results are used externally to hold us to account.

KS2 SATs are like Ofsted. The importance that schools place on them and the way schools big them up and stress about them, make them appear far more important than they actually are. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

@Oldprimaryhead1 Great blog. If only someone would listen.

After leading 41 training sessions, visiting 27 schools and working with thousands of teachers since January, I think I’ve got a fairly good handle on the mood in the profession. Here’s what I’ve observed. Everyone is working flat out. Harder than they’ve ever worked before.

Been working with a school for a few months to redesign their T&L policy. Moving from theory and long documents ➜ to a simple classroom framework: 1. Retrieve 2. Model 3. Practice 4. Assess The goal? Not consistency. Coherence. A shared approach teachers can actually use!

The most respected school leaders I know working in these communities aren't asking Ofsted to lower the bar. They're asking for a system that measures what they can actually influence and recognises the extraordinary work being done against the odds. tes.com/magazine/news/…

@dave_mcpartlin @HappyHead74 @teacherhead @RPUffendell @educationgovuk And then, to top it off, we have @Ofstednews that thinks expectations are lower if/when children don’t achieve in line with NAT! Don’t they realise that the way tests are marked (I.e. bell curve) that some have to be below NAT!

This from HMCI's speech to ASCL today. We can debate whether the line for 'good' was drawn at the right place and whether too many schools were graded 'good' BUT HMCI is suggesting something that is not true in this part of his speech.

@Yorkshire_Steve @PardoeMary I’ve heard SO many say that this framework is ‘the worst yet.’ Some have said they felt battered & want to give up. Incredible to think that this framework was Ofsted’s response to the Coroner’s report…

@Yorkshire_Steve @PardoeMary Most schools are doing a really good job under very difficult circumstances-lack of funding, staffing issues, SEND related pressures etc etc…and then the huge pressure from this framework. It’s unsustainable.

Yes, schools sifting the 'right' SEND pupils to have. Already happening and this will only encourage the practice.
