Uniform is just that, uniform. Schools already have expectations around the below - it's your PE kit.
Most of industry don't wear suits and ties to work. Certainly not clip-on ties.

Children should be allowed to wear tracksuits in class to make school uniform 'more inclusive', MPs say trib.al/iFPfWl6

@Hotwheels_mtb @Absolutemtb1 @UKMTB_Chat Not that cheap but really like DYFRS Cryptkeeper shorts. Use the for riding on my own and leading the school mtb club. Actual usable pockets! With zip closures! dfyrs.com/products/crypt…

What’s the goto mtb shorts these days? And cheap? Endura seem to be not cheap and also the big phone pocket at the back has gone on the new hummvee shorts, oddly my current pair has spilt at the back of said pocket… @Absolutemtb1 @UKMTB_Chat

@ShakinthatChalk @DudeAdhd @cierzo1 It is increasingly hard to talk about teaching without some with a view that is strictly to one side coming along to attack you for daring to think differently.

The most respected school leaders I know working in these communities aren't asking Ofsted to lower the bar. They're asking for a system that measures what they can actually influence and recognises the extraordinary work being done against the odds.

‘Well done, new headteacher for working so hard with your staff to completely transform this failing school.
Have a pat on the head while we mark you down for your historic low outcomes’.
Yeah, thanks.

The future of education is clear.
Teacher gets AI to design and deliver the curriculum .. videos and assignments.
Students get AI to process the videos and complete the assignments.
Teacher gets AI to assess and give feedback on the assignments.
Feet up + jelly heads all round.

Army and RAF cadets enjoyed an incredible day at The Tank Museum — exploring armoured history, seeing iconic vehicles up close, and learning about the evolution of warfare. 💥
A great mix of education, teamwork & inspiration! 👏 #TorquayAcademyCCF #CadetLife #TankMuseum

@MathsNot @Mathematical_A @p_glaister As a positive it may see a return to able year 13s who didn’t start further maths picking up the AS for a love of the subject and improving their knowledge and abilities. A small positive but a positive none the less.

An interesting thread here on a topic which many probably have very passionate views. Examining the numbers though is always interesting.
Anne Strickland@strickia
When Labour announced VAT on private school fees, they promised it would raise £1.7 billion for state schools. With 25,000 pupils already forced out, eight times more than predicted, the policy is on track to cost taxpayers money rather than raise it. A thread🧵

Good to see a current version of this ever-popular table (thanks Matt Man). You can assume, though, that many of the 9/A* students also took Further Maths

After going to the "Exam Insights Summer 2025" CPD session by Pearson Edexcel, it made me think of the below questions. We'll discuss this at the start of my workshop on "Moving 'em up to the next grade!" for #ALevelMaths #MathsConf39 @LaSalleEd

People are always asking "Is there a scientific calculator for visually impaired students?"
Yes, there is, and I have just done a review
At around £600, it's not cheap, but it does everything needed for GCSE

@Sheena2907 The 14 year old spaniel that still tries to act like a two year old at times does bring it on himself sometimes…. Only last month ago he spectacularly took me out walking him leading to a sprained ankle trying chase a cat he spotted on the other side of the road.

@theperfectlang1 Gosh you've had so much to deal with. Hux also has 2 cruciated done. He was on gabapentin and Metacam. We had a number of scares and thought we were losing him numerous times. I've had many out of hours vet trips

Huge shout out to @PetplanUK who never queried a single claim I've made despite claiming far more than I've paid in premiums over the years. They always pay out within a couple of days. As a final act of compassion they waived my excess on my euthanasia claim for my boy Huxley.

I think “Russell Group” is a poor proxy, and I don’t think it’s the only thing that matters, but the quality of a degree is important - deep, broad, accurate, confident, enthusiastic subject knowledge makes a huge difference to a teacher and is surprisingly rare.
Tom Rogers@RogersHistory
As Teachfirst plans to drop it's Russell Group uni requirements, I say - Good! The idea that having a certain level of degree or going to a certain uni is likely to make you a better or more elite teacher doesn't translate to reality. In my experience, you can be as smart as you like and have zero concept of how to relate to young ppl in classroom contexts. I think it's a myth that based your IQ, degree level or place of study, that it's much more likely you will be a good teacher. Maybe someone like @dylanwiliam can shed more light on this though. The fact TF are now talking about 'commitment to teaching' as key prob relates to the fact more TF'ers move onto other things relatively quickly compared to other training routes. Nevertheless, as much as I agree with changing this, it won't change the general attrition rates in teaching (in England esp) until more drastic things change.
