Just one week left to apply for these two exciting FEA Secretariat roles. An awesome team and an organisation that really cares. If you're based outside of London and want to know how the Northern cohort of the team make hybrid work (from Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester), DM me.

Brilliant to hear Fair Education Alliance Youth Steering Group member Scarlett speaking at @SchoolGovNet #GfSConference2023 - "cherrypicking high achieving students for leadership roles cements the voicelessness of disadvantaged students... governors must hold space for all students"

This is stark from UNICEF UK. The United Kingdom has seen the biggest rise in child poverty rates of all OECD/ EU countries. Radical action is needed now to tackle child poverty head on. We know what solutions work, follow work of Child Poverty Action Group End Child Poverty The Children's Society.

The good news in these findings is that child poverty can be tackled. The bad news is that in the UK politicians are sitting on their hands. They must act. Every party must commit to scrapping the two-child limit and benefit cap, to restoring investment in child benefit... 1/2

Official Government data shows quite how dire the teacher training recruitment situation is in England right now, with only half the required secondary trainees recruited and 15 out of 18 subjects failing to meet their targets

JUST ANNOUNCED: City Hall's groundbreaking free school meals programme is to be extended for another year. No child should go hungry in our city. The Government have refused to act, so I’ve stepped up.
