Thank you so much for your continued excellent papers and thought-provoking insights. Your system leadership is instrumental in ensuring that education is no longer a political football, swaying back and forth. Your contributions are extremely highly valued and appreciated. 👏🙌

Love this Jon. I feel so privileged to have seen the Whipton journey over these last 6 years. One of the most disadvantaged primaries in the region (50.2% FSM6) walking the talk of understanding it's context but never letting it be an excuse for lowering expectations. 🙌

Thank you so so much to Sarah from Trinity MAT, @JoeAmbroseGLT from Greenshaw Learning Trust and Nat Parnell from Westcountry Schools Trust form 3 amazingly stimulating presentations this morning at the SW Trust School Improvement Network. Have a well earned summer when it arrives.

4. Cut workload significantly: forget about analysing data & endless interventions. Ask yourself 1 question: do your pupils work hard enough? If the answer is 'no' then focus your efforts to create a culture of hard work. How? Read the post below. 4/5 bunsenblue.wordpress.com/2024/08/17/do-…

🚨 NEW: For the first time, we can reveal school by school information on how secondary pupil intakes reflect their local community. Our accompanying analysis looks at which local authorities in England have the most and least socially segregated schools ⬇️🧵

If we neglect: a) excellent teaching & learning within a high quality curriculum b) enrichment: social inclusion & broad vistas c) a personal development curriculum: confidence & agency d) wellbeing: physical & mental health Our disadvantage strategies are doomed to difficulty.

As we all struggle to access the Data checking exercise today, there has also been an update to IDSR. For anyone wishing to capture their schools new EN & MA 4+ & 5+ percentile ranks for 2023 data, grab then now before they are updated with 2024 data before the end of the month.
