Yes, I spend a lot of my time endlessly reporting on the downsides. None of this seems to filter through to policymakers (though there is some acknowledement of generalised concerns re pupil wellbeing)- the MAT lobby now seems so strong.

@warwickmansell Looks like Phillipson has fallen for the silky tongues of @CSTvoice and CEOs of large trusts. Little real understanding of what has been lost through the MATs clutches in providing real community focused education.

@bphillipsonMP So it’s Wilshaw who’s advising you …. Now it makes sense …I have no doubting your desire to ‘fix’ education but by validating Wilshaw creates even more suspicion and cynicism among the profession…. Stop it……

"Inclusion and attainment are not competing priorities, as the best schools prove." Michael Wilshaw is absolutely right. Through our Schools White Paper we will drive high standards and ensure every child is included and valued in our schools. independent.co.uk/voices/ofsted-…

@graemedoyle3 Allow physio on pitch during play for players ‘ injured’ - sharp see less of the theatricals and forcing the ref to stop play ….

Next rule that needs to be introduced in football is time limit on throw ins. The amount of time Sunderland took to take throw ins was ridiculous the other night. All this garbage drying the ball with a towel needs to stop. Both teams took a long time to take goal kicks aswel.

@bphillipsonMP @theipaper It’s baffling how you believes this is happening - reality is very different- 21st year as a headteacher, we’ve never been so hard up… cuts to staffing and resources means it’s difficult to see how children will thrive - it’s beyond broken and it’s becoming very demoralising.

Brick by brick, we are building an education system where every child can achieve and thrive – including those with SEND. Under Labour, schools will be inclusive by design. My piece in @theipaper ✍️ inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

Who is telling her to say this ??? It’s just not happening, where are these specialist SEND places? We’ve had to cut support staff not train them…. It’s disingenuous at the very least….
Bridget Phillipson@bphillipsonMP

We’re creating good, local schools with specialist SEND places and well trained teachers and support staff. Needs met Parents involved Children thriving Support without a fight That is Labour’s vision for a renewed SEND system.

unless it’s genuinely funded, it plunges finances into deeper trouble meaning the govt ambitious* targets for phonics, GLD etc are simply unobtainable…. * Ambitious really means ludicrous by the way !
Tes magazine@tes

.@educationgovuk has recommended that teachers get a 6.5% pay rise spread over three years tes.com/magazine/news/…

This is my 21st year of headship, I’ve never known it as bad… whilst she’s patting her back over breakfast clubs SEND is in total crisis… our budget is so bad we’re now losing staff….. they have no idea whatsoever…
Bridget Phillipson@bphillipsonMP

Expanding free school meal eligibility and beginning the national rollout of free breakfast clubs. Pro-learning, anti-poverty, properly Labour policies. Back me to do more, as Labour’s Deputy Leader.

@vicgoddard The disconnect between policy makers, government etc and the profession is massive, there seems to be little understanding of the realities and challenges of day to day life in schools. ‘Making a difference’ is fast be becoming nothing but wishful thinking.

When is it going to get better? A 🧵 After over a decade of cuts to school funding I was so hopeful that a change of govt would mean we would have money to invest in improving children’s lives. I understand the need for growth in order to close the holes in public finances. 1/5

@StagecoachNE your service is beyond remarkable … remarkably useless..Santa comes more than the 71 and 62…not the drivers fault but who is running the show…. Probably on 6 figure salary & never needed a bus in their life.. timetables published in bus stops -a work of fiction.

@bphillipsonMP @CMcKinnellMP Perhaps if you just focus on policies which help normal people , jobs, health, transport , education, etc you wouldn’t need to fight Reform,
