Very strong #PIRLS literacy results out today - a huge credit to primary schools and to all who support them in so many ways.

If anyone knows Abishek Rayewar (aged about 25) - I found your wallet containing a Maharashtra driving licence and an Indian income tax ID card in a flowerbed in Hanover Square (London W1) this morning. I’ll post it to you but need an address.

The ad for my successor is out. I’ll be leaving this amazing job at the end of 2023, and if you think you have the experience, the energy and the commitment it needs, and want to work with our fantastic staff, apply here: …for-public-appointment.service.gov.uk/roles/6251?bac…

Many thanks to Federation staff and parents for welcoming us today. And you can’t see in the picture but the snowflakes were (very lightly) landing on us all.

Children’s books are feasts for the imagination - lovely to talk about them

Very good to be talking apprenticeships in National Apprenticeship Week #NAW2023 - thank you Lifetime

Hugely enjoyable visit - especially lunch with some terrific students

Moving to read this and a moment to remember the boys who sadly died that day, including my step-uncle Jeremy Dennis.

The first of the series - thanks to all those who were visited and who worked on the report.

Agree. Teaching maths until 18 has been recommended by the Royal Society for many years. Empowering for individuals and crucial for society to have a numerate population. Many countries achieve this with IB or similar

This is tremendously good news for our young people, for the prospects for the country and (with the right resources and lead time to build up to it) for our sixth forms and colleges.

I am very proud that hard work by our staff deployed during the pandemic has been recognised in research by Royal Holloway RH Research royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-t…
