A conference with a difference! Every expert speaker will have an in school leader delivering alongside them to show the theory into action! bit.ly/ctssummerconfe… 30/6/26 Luton! @ChilternTSH @ChilternLT @CTGtraining @unleashing_me @AJRAllModCons

Teachers make around 1,500 decisions a day. In a 10 hour day thats 150 decisions an hour. That’s a decision to make every 24 seconds. Nearly 300,000 decisions in 39 weeks of teaching. Such a mentally demanding job. Too many holidays, yeah right!

It is now “almost impossible” for smaller MATs to remain sustainable, a CEO has told @JabedAhm in his article today. The comments come as mergers accelerate, with the latest being White Horse Federation taking on 10 new schools. tes.com/magazine/news/…

The proposed changes to KCSIE guidance are ‘quite unmanageable’ in the timeframe the DfE has left for implementation, school safeguarding leaders have warned tes.com/magazine/news/…

It’s a difficult time for educators. So much of @reformparty_uk politics is based on division & hate. Yet they now have an extra 1,400 councillors across the country. @Nigel_Farage led us blindly towards Brexit & what does his party offer by way of education policy or vision? 🥲

Many of the greatest teachers will never win prestigious awards, amass wealth, or become famous. They simply show up every day, ignite minds, and change lives—one lesson at a time. Their impact is quiet, but profound.

Don’t look at the Ofsted grade ‘needs attention’ as a sign of failure, says MAT leader @cathiepaine – this new inspection system can help school improvement, but only if we avoid falling into the same old traps tes.com/magazine/analy…

If you’ve got inspection on the horizon, here’s a calm pattern-scan of what we’re seeing in early 2026. We’ve summarised: - Where “Needs Attention/Urgent Improvement” most often clusters - The narratives repeatedly driving judgements - The evidence that seems to make the difference (especially around impact visibility) It’s designed to reduce anxiety and sharpen what you prioritise — without turning school into an inspection factory.

If the government wants more inclusion, then Ofsted should not be judging schools' ‘achievement’ using national average outcomes, writes MAT leader @JohnCam72037614 tes.com/magazine/analy…

Three-quarters of teachers have thought about leaving the profession because of burnout – and most say stress has affected their teaching, NASUWT polling shows tes.com/magazine/news/…

IF WE DON'T FOCUS ON SCHOOL CULTURE, WE MIGHT AS WELL NOT WASTE OUR TIME FOCUSING ON ANYTHING ELSE.

So important! 🧡

Ofsted will inspect early years settings more frequently – at least every four years, instead of at least every six years tes.com/magazine/news/…

Two-thirds of special schools are now either at or over capacity, the latest @educationgovuk figures show tes.com/magazine/news/…
