@YewTreeSandwell @60Hoppy Did you reported back your findings for corrections before Ofsted final report?

@60Hoppy It is a very positive report. There is no ‘good’ anymore but the school is doing all it should and more. Our disappointment was with the way the inspection was conducted and that the report does not accurately reflect our strengths due to flaws in the inspection process.

Further to our inspection in January, our report & an accompanying letter is available on our website: yewtreeprimary.co.uk/inspection-rep… As Ofsted has changed how they grade schools, which is not comparable to the previous framework, please watch this video: youtube.com/watch?v=kbl0Fv…

@tes If my school losses 2% ( rounding up) of students in one year group, currently about 180 per year group, this gives us about 4 students ( rounded up again) per year group. Can someone help me with maths here?

The average school will not need to grow its teaching workforce for at least two years, according to DfE predictions tes.com/magazine/news/…

@BBCNews Primary schools - yes! Secondary schools - reasonable adjustments only.

@GraceGym_ Positive

@ICT_MrP Absolutely disagree! Yellow or orange is for Maths. Always. Happy colours for happy subject.

i’m finally settling this debate of which colour exercise book each primary school subject should be

@DeadJokeClub @Channel4News This just proves that we do not look at people as people, we still look at people through their skin colour.

@Channel4News Why have you written "Black" and "white"? Why distinguish between races in this way? How does that sit with being a public service broadcaster?

A Transport for London advert has been banned for reinforcing negative stereotypes about Black men. The Facebook ad showed a young Black man verbally harassing a white girl, while a white teenage boy sat close to the victim, boxing her in. It was part of a two-minute film which was turned into three shorter social ads. The UK’s advertising regulator said this section, which was clipped, didn’t show the white male jointly intimidating the victim - and the Black teen was the sole aggressor. It was part of a campaign to encourage passengers to intervene if they witnessed sexual harassment or a hate crime. TFL said the full-length version of the ad showed a "diverse cast".

I pushed a new set of interactive numeracy tools live last night (Place value table, number grids, fractions wall), each complete with its own set of investigation questions. Find it at Mr Barton Maths > Problem-solving. Hope you find it useful.

@sciantificnew @RogersHistory @TTRadioOfficial I understand that as children grow their needs are changing. But who will be doing these reassessments and how efficient the process will be? Now, kids are waiting a very long time to be properly assessed. Will it be to school SENCO to reassess?

I’m planning to get into this debate in a future ⁦@TTRadioOfficial⁩ show, with the parent of a child with an EHCP. I’m interested in people’s opinions on this. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

You should all take a look at this. @mrjamestuition has put some effort into lots of examples for those looking to secure a pass. Lots of bar modelling. luckymaths.co.uk/resources

@adamboxer1 I agree with what @head_teach said about the reasons why parents complain more. School is only institution were parents have face to face contact what makes them feel in control.

Have you noticed an uptick in parental complaints to school in the post covid world? What is your school doing about it? What's the plan? Tune in and share 🙏🙏

As of this morning, I have also removed all the ads from the site so you and your students can teach and learn distraction-free. As my son said: they were soooo annoying!

When I was interviewed on the radio this morning about the rise in violence in schools, it felt like the conversation kept steering towards one simple explanation... lazy parenting. But I don’t necessarily think that’s the case and even so, how does that solve this important

I have just pushed live a MASSIVE update of my Mr Barton Maths website - all 100% free. If you find it useful, please help spread the word by sharing this post 🙏

I loved this episode - Matthew knows so much about school leadership and speaks with real passion and knowledge about what makes a great school leader. Don't miss out, and please share if you can!
