By sheer coincidence, it was my turn to do Thought For The Day at TTA this morning, so I chose to talk about the horrific attack in Golders Green yesterday, and what it means to be a Jew in 2026 Britain. Please give it a few minutes of your time if you can.

Who gains most when Key Stage 3 is ambitious, and who loses most when it is not? There's a compelling educational case for an ambitious KS3: it builds the knowledge and habits of mind that make later learning possible, and gives ages 11–14 the seriousness they deserve.

Maybe pay them better? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know that’s a systemic issue rather than down to individual schools but if we value TAs, especially those who support SEND pupils, then paying them even a fraction of what they’re worth would be a start.

TAs are leaving the profession in record numbers. So what can schools do differently to keep them in post? Nancy Gedge shares her advice for better looking after your support staff tes.com/magazine/analy…

🚨 Teacher burnout is at crisis point 🚨 New research from @DCU, and reported by @BBCNews, reveals 91% of teachers in Northern Ireland are experiencing work‑related burnout. This reflects a wider UK picture, with our own research showing that 1 in 4 educators have considered leaving due to pressures on their mental health. If you needs support, our helpline is open 24/7 for everyone in the UK: 08000 562 561.

If you teach anyone at all, and you don't know about @helenrey's CogSci book summaries, you are missing out. It's a wonderful resource summarizing the most important books on cognitive science: bit.ly/3Q7dEnG
