@christthesower Well done CTS!

Two exciting posts in our ODBST schools for Early Years Practitioners. We’re looking for a Nursery Manager in one of our small schools and an Early Years Leader in one of our large schools. Both have fantastic SLTs, a great CPD offer and wonderful children.

@christthesower Pickleball sounds intriguing……

Schools: we’ve updated our guidance on registering and inspecting early years provision. We've added information to better reflect the range of provision across various types of schools and clarified expectations. Find out more ⬇️ educationinspection.blog.gov.uk/2025/09/11/reg…

NPQ applications for Autumn 2025 now open @bestpracticenet @ChallonersHead @ChallonersGS astrahub.org/268/news/post/…

🚨Following a call for evidence for examples of effective inclusive practice in mainstream schools, Inclusion in Practice has published a really useful report outlining 5 principles of #inclusive practice. A MUST read! #SEND #Inclusion #SENDCO inclusioninpractice.org.uk/report/

Great to see these ‘Five-a-day’ resources collated on a new EEF SEND webpage, for ease of use. If you’re a school or college leader looking to drive inclusive teaching practices in your setting, this is an excellent starting point. @EducEndowFoundn educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/education-evid…

@robhalls Indeed

Findings are perhaps not surprising but clearly concerning and reinforce the need for an attendance drive……
