60,000 teachers and support staff have now supported our call to #CloseTheSchools. Thousands are signing every 15 minutes. Join our fight for teachers, support staff, parents and pupils actionnetwork.org/forms/close-sc…

In the future, when people look back and ask what OFSTED did during the pandemic and the answer is “continued to visit schools and published a report telling everyone how students were regressing in their learning”, I hope more ppl will be able to see how ridiculous this is.

If testing works reliably and can be undertaken safely, then I am in favour. I am prepared to work during the holidays to make it happen if needed. (However, I haven't yet seen evidence the govt is ready to get edu leaders working on this nor that testing has to start on 4th Jan)

The Greek poet Archiochus wrote: “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing". Me - I'm a hedgehog and I just know this: schools leaders, teachers, and school staff have done amazing things over the past year. So simply this: thank you. Am now signing off.

NEW: Please check your inboxes for a new message from Paul Whiteman "This is about keeping education going. At every turn the govt has failed and is working against the efforts of educators." #schoolsreopeninguk #covid19 #january #schools naht.org.uk/news-and-opini…

"That is NOT an example of a tolerant society." "Sending people abuse on social media isn't victimless, it hurts people." Jake Humphrey with a message of support for Karen Carney ❤️ Well said!

I think my school community needed to hear this today 💜

Axel Tuanzebe's life story is an inspiration to millions. Kid arrived from Congo aged 4 and didn't speak English. Grafted at school and got excellent grades. Captained MUFC at every level. Pity the rancid, faceless, racists who abuse him and the platforms which propagate it.
