@NC_MrStones and I are doing some research at @EducationLBU on your views on teaching children about LGBT people. We would be so grateful if you would kindly take one minute to complete this anonymous survey. Please share widely. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

AGM reminder 4:30 at Shaw Lane Cricket Club S706HZ nutbarnsley.net/agm-march-14th…

We've laid out 6⃣ simple tests for the Government on school funding. RT to make sure everyone knows what it will take to end the school funding crisis. The Chancellor has another chance to properly fund schools this Wednesday. We'll tell you how his #SpringStatement stacks up.

Strong parent opposition to forced academisation of Mackie Hill Junior & Infant school in Wakefield. RSC contacted & parents are challenging decision. The school is working in a strong collaborative network & doesn’t want further disruption for pupils #savemackiehill

Barnsley Branch Secretary @NUTBarnsley & AMiE @ATL_AMiE President say: "2,000 children in England with SEND have no education provision at all; this is a scandal @DamianHinds . Please address this now". Support our vulnerable learners. #SENDcrisis #SENDhelp

@warwickmansell @LouRegan1 @rob_kelsall And... Is that decision arrived at after extensive consultation with ALL stakeholders? Very small groups of people taking huge decisions, this really is a massive issue!

Another question: am trying to pin down when exactly a Headteacher Board meets to consider which org is to sponsor a school after it's failed an Ofsted. Does this meeting have to come after the academy order? Are process rules set down anywhere? @rob_kelsall , do you know?

We’ve signed an open letter telling @DamianHinds that funding for children with special educational needs and disabilities is inadequate. This has left 2,000 children with no education provision at all. We need urgent action on this. #SENDCrisis #Schoolcuts

It was a pleasure to be part of an event to bring trade unionism to a younger audience. Well done @BannersHeldHigh it was great 👍🏻

@theresaeaston Good to chat to you too ✊🏻👍🏻

Some fab banners on display already in Wakefield @BannersHeldHigh

NUT and NEU off to Wakefield- might be the last outing for Barnsley NUT banner ❤️Unions @BannersHeldHigh

Can those in charge not see how this kind of arrangement destroys any kind of trust in the system they are trying to build? Checks and balances are so weak, and external perspectives+institutional distancing seem non-existent: schoolsweek.co.uk/inspiration-tr…

"It beggars belief that the Government has announced it will plough £50 million to expand the number of places at existing selective grammar schools when schools up and down the country are desperately short of funds" @cyclingkev #schoolcuts neu.org.uk/latest/school-…

There are major problems in our country with the selective education system, @MaryBoustedNEU tells @VictoriaLIVE. twitter.com/NEUnion/status…

Why do we make children do the SATs tests?
