On #InternationalVolunteerDay, we want to say thank you to our incredible parents, caregivers, community members, governors and trustees, who give their time and energy to our schools and play a vital role in helping to create a safe, happy place for our children to thrive.

Today, 56 incredible children from our Children’s Parliament had meaningful discussions about belonging, from seeing representation in the books they read to respecting and amplifying each other’s voices. We can't wait to see how they bring these ideas to life! #TogetherWeLearn

Only 4 days to go until our Inset Day, a day dedicated to growth, collaboration, and learning - from experts and each other. Let's embrace this opportunity to empower everyone within our trust and support our dedicated staff in their professional development! #TogetherWeLearn

We all know what it’s like to have tricky conversations, whether with our families, communities or colleagues. This Friday (Inset Day), leadership expert Fiona Moore will be sharing guidance to help us improve our relationships and "make more things possible"... #TogetherWeLearn

Reform's 5 MPs gather for their first meeting.

Can Labour bring back Surestart ASAP. Please. I don’t want to keep seeing hungry kids and vulnerable families with so little support, at work, and around the country.

Less than 24 hours after the polls closed, that inhumane, stupid, red-meat-for-the-balcony, posturing, ruinous piece of flimsy showboating is trashed. Hell of a start.

“Keir Starmer told Big Issue he’d be as bold as Attlee if elected; we will hold him to that. If Keir Starmer is found wanting, Big Issue will not be.” 📢 @PauldMcNamee pledges the Big Issue will continue to take those in charge to task & seek better. ⬇️ bigissue.com/opinion/genera…

As always, the media are clustering around #VichyNige like flies on sh1t. But the Green result is far more remarkable, as it happened without the massive publicity Reform was given.

Really ugly scenes during @jessphillips‘ acceptance speech. Absolutely appalling; men shouting down a woman when she’s legitimately won an election is disgraceful and a bad look for our democracy.

Let’s start with actual rapists going to jail first
