"A punitive accountability regime / shortages of funding & staff are making the job of education leaders unsustainable. Their work is taken for granted by a government that is complacent about their welfare": my comments ASCL on Teacher Tapp's survey buff.ly/3Q9MYPE

“It is disappointing that this evaluation of ‘behaviour hubs’ has been postponed since it is virtually the only policy initiative by the government to support schools in dealing with challenging behaviour”: my comments on behalf of ⁦ASCL⁩: tes.com/magazine/news/…

So for some schools next week is the last week of term…and they are STILL planning on inspecting. After this, this outcome and this desperately sad situation, let’s give a days training as that’ll suffice

All for reducing workload so teachers can focus on planning and delivering effective and wonderful learning for pupils, but this list doesn't mean they don't need doing.Will the DfE be providing capacity to support them being completed to support teachers? tes.com/magazine/news/…

Just ban smart phones in schools. Yes, there are some uses. But these are outweighed by their disadvantages 100-fold. For safety, for learning, for social skills, ban them. Confiscate on sight. Return in the most inconvenient way.

If I can help just one person with this - it can, really, really help to be as fit & healthy as possible before cancer treatment starts. Good food, moving, not smoking, resting & drinking plenty of water help. It could mean the difference between it working or making you more ill

Hmmmm unsure of the value in this, nothing new, if not slightly outdated as all schools have their own systems and frameworks; based on in situ contextualised evidence. What did this cost to produce?

The School Cuts website makes the impact of cuts clear. Our school has £633K less in real terms than in 2010. We feel this every day in the difficult decisions we have to make. If young people really matter, then the Spring Budget must address this issue. schoolcuts.org.uk

A joke I hear you say…but alas no, this is the genuine move. I’m almost certain young people are aware of who those adults are they see every day and who go above and beyond every day to support their growth and development. So no, no need for a scout badge is there
