@paulbristow79 Please come to talk to us re Kingsway Solar Farm

🌟NO TO SOLAR FARMS ON PRIME AGRICULTURAL LAND🌟 Prime agricultural land should be used to grow food🚜 My spacial development strategy will have new rules attempting to stop giant solar farms across #Cambridgeshire. ☀️ Bedfordshire Mayor Tom Wootton & I shall work together 💪

@paulbristow79 Can you ask who will be paying for any fires caused when the BESS storage involved in proposed Kingsway Solar Farm has issues? Why should communities have to pay when they don’t even want them!

I met with the Chair of #Cambridgeshire Fire Authority Cllr Chris Morris who sits on the Board of the Combined Authority 💙 They provide the fire and rescue service for the people of Cambridgeshire and #Peterborough. I want to ensure we work closely together 🙏

@paulbristow79 I am sending this message as a concerned constituent innWeston Colville-Kingsway Solar Farm. We invite you to come and talk to us

It is simply not fit for purpose. Time for a brave govt to accept that the system is broken and needs to be thrown out and start again

@NAHTnews Shocking to give a pay rise and not fully fund it! We all know it is going to have major repercussions…. School leaders have a tough time ahead!

We are hearing from school leaders who are being forced into cuts, including reducing the number of hours of teachers and teaching assistants, with others leaving posts vacant when staff leave. Some are even having to fundraise in an effort to bring in the money they need to maintain provision for pupils. bit.ly/4lxKDN0

Brilliant, as it is every year, a savage mauling of the annual grammar test for Year 6s from @MichaelRosenYes For goodness sake, @bphillipsonMP & @educationgovuk, Oli De Boton and anyone else who can help, PLEASE make it stop!

Government must fully fund our schools and SEND provision now. Taking away children’s rights to solve a broken system is wrongheaded and doesn’t tackle the root cause. apple.news/A_x0pe3bmTGC9W…

Well done NAHT @NEUnion abolish Ofsted. Two education unions with concerns. @Ofstednews will you listen?

In today’s education news... if you’re not as angry as I am about the news Amanda Spielman is getting a peerage, have you been working in education over the past few years?

Why on earth are private school fees included in the notional basked of goods used to calculate inflation? More than 90% of parents never pay them.

"Why did you leave Ofsted?" people ask me. This 👇

The lies of Sir Martyn Oliver, a thread in many parts, presented on the day after the second anniversary of the death of Ruth Perry. I will use verifiable sources to show how, during yesterday’s accountability hearing, Sir Martyn lied in nearly every way imaginable...

Keir Starmer promised to invest in education after 14 years of austerity. We’ve got the highest primary class sizes in Europe. Secondary class sizes: highest since records began. College funding: cut to the bone. Funding for SEND support: totally inadequate. Time to act. neu.org.uk/latest/press-r…

Important questions: why has the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers widened? Why did over 40% of pupils fail to get a grade 4 in maths and over 38% in English last year? What effect is this having on the pupils and on our future prospects as a country?

Frank Cottrell Boyce is right. The state of school buildings is one tangible result of 14 years of neglect by a government which preached equality of opportunity whilst practising rocketing rates of child poverty and neglect of state schools.

My favourite reads of the year! Thanks to @ForumBooks #alnwick #accidentalbookshop and @The_UKLA for many of the recommendations! #buyabook #readit and in January take it to your local #loveyourlocal

Brave parents & teachers speaking out. This happens when you have a toxic exam and accountability system. The school may well be getting great results, but the cost is the wellbeing & mental health of too many. Children shouldn’t be broken by the education system 👇🏼
