We’ve signed an open letter telling Damian Hinds that funding for children with special educational needs and disabilities is inadequate. This has left 2,000 children with no education provision at all. We need urgent action on this. #SENDCrisis #Schoolcuts

Another question: am trying to pin down when exactly a Headteacher Board meets to consider which org is to sponsor a school after it's failed an Ofsted. Does this meeting have to come after the academy order? Are process rules set down anywhere? rob kelsall , do you know?

Barnsley Branch Secretary NEU Barnsley & AMiE @ATL_AMiE President say: "2,000 children in England with SEND have no education provision at all; this is a scandal Damian Hinds . Please address this now". Support our vulnerable learners. #SENDcrisis #SENDhelp

Strong parent opposition to forced academisation of Mackie Hill Junior & Infant school in Wakefield. RSC contacted & parents are challenging decision. The school is working in a strong collaborative network & doesn’t want further disruption for pupils #savemackiehill

We've laid out 6⃣ simple tests for the Government on school funding. RT to make sure everyone knows what it will take to end the school funding crisis. The Chancellor has another chance to properly fund schools this Wednesday. We'll tell you how his #SpringStatement stacks up.

"It beggars belief that the Government has announced it will plough £50 million to expand the number of places at existing selective grammar schools when schools up and down the country are desperately short of funds" Kevin Courtney #schoolcuts neu.org.uk/latest/school-…

There are major problems in our country with the selective education system, @MaryBoustedNEU tells Victoria Derbyshire. x.com/NEUnion/status…

Why do we make children do the SATs tests?

Can those in charge not see how this kind of arrangement destroys any kind of trust in the system they are trying to build? Checks and balances are so weak, and external perspectives+institutional distancing seem non-existent: schoolsweek.co.uk/inspiration-tr…
