An excellent debut piece here from Ellen on a very interesting debate at the #SAAShow yesterday on how high a priority the structure of the school system should be for the next government and how much this affects other issues in the sector such as funding and workforce.

Very excited to be nominated in the BASW Journalism Awards for this article on @Tes about how social care cuts are hitting schools exclusion and suspension decisions tes.com/magazine/analy…

Amazing recognition for the team - and for what we are trying to do Tes in being the magazine for and of our sector, staying true to the B2B mandate to be a fair, critical friend and to give our readers what they need, when they need it.

Delighted to announce that Tes has been shortlisted for PPA Special Interest Brand of the Year – and huge congratulations to senior reporter tilda martin who is shortlisted for Writer of the Year 🎉🎉🎉

Sir Martyn told the Schools & Academies Show that there should not be a system where trusts “are afraid to take on schools because of anything to do with Ofsted”.

He also warned that schools that off-roll pupils should be made inadequate👇

Great to write for Tes about oracy and maths. Oracy is clearly the new trend. Trends can be bad - they can be ill thought through and bring about harmful genericism. But this one doesn't have to be.

⭐️Very pleased (and amazed!) to say I’ve been shortlisted for the PPA awards Tes in the Best Writer of the Year category alongside some pretty cool people.

Thank you to everyone in the schools sector for allowing me to tell your stories

Alfred Molina on Spider-Man 2: ‘Rosemary Harris & I were suspended in harnesses 40ft above the soundstage floor & we were left hanging there for ages & ran out of small talk. At one point, Rosemary said quietly ‘I’m classically trained, you know.’

A brilliant article from Head of Research Kirsty Tinsley, sharing the work of the Practitioner Researcher programme Windsor Academy Trust:

Absolutely fantastic. And completely aligns with my drive to reignite action research in schools. 🔥

New bit of guidance today from the Department for Education🚨All schools should create a “bomb threat checklist” in an effort to prepare for terrorism incidents

+All settings should also appoint a “security lead” to help “promote a good security culture”
