The @suttontrust finding coupled with how @Ofstednews framework is slamming disadvantaged and inclusive schools is a storm about to rage. A non-inclusive system encouraged and praised by accountability measures that reward creating cultures where not all are welcome.

A few thoughts on the @suttontrust report that came out today. passmorespedagogy.wordpress.com/2026/03/24/sel…

Heard of two schools who are having inspections this week, in primary, during SATs week. I think I just strained an eyeball I did such a giant eye roll. Anyone who has ever had to juggle the staffing & leadership SATs logistics in a primary school knows how utterly mad this is.

In case you missed it. Being inclusive and maintaining good behaviour is more expensive for the schools doing it but saves our country a great deal more.
