The constraints facing the Labour government provide an unmissable opportunity to change how government works. Our report w/Public Digital outlines how to build a mission-oriented government that delivers better outcomes, reduces risk & rebuilds trust. bit.ly/45R90hA

Sadly not surprised at devastating Education Policy Institute stats today. The gap was already widening before the pandemic + levels of child poverty continue to rise. Reversing this trend is possible, schools have done it before, but we must also have action on the root causes of poverty.

Fascinating and important work on the future of the teaching workforce by National Foundation for Educational Research

⁦Plenty of useful insights in this PLMR conversation with ⁦@LordJimKnight⁩ brilliantly chaired by ⁦Tiffany Beck OBE⁩.

According to this research only 5% of girls and young women in the UK feel completely safe in public spaces, while almost half believe they do not have the same educational and employment opportunities as boys and young men of the same age. WE. MUST. DO. BETTER.

Hard relate with my phone this morning. Sending positive vibes to everyone else pushing on through.

I now feeling like every (summer) weekend should end flat on my back outside Walthamstow Town Hall… having done brilliant yoga session with East Of Eden Feeling invigorated for the week ahead.

These discussions sound fascinating. Lots to think about in this: "The shift from transactional engagement to relational engagement... I believe it is the basis of a new social contract not just with our colleagues in the organisations we lead, but also with pupils & parents"

🚨 New report! 🚨 ​ 'Beyond the Headlines' examines the trends in violence affecting children in England and Wales over the past 10 years. Serious violence affecting children has risen over the past decade, with a spike in the mid-2010s. Visit: buff.ly/4dgaYKJ

Well placed post- it notes are my love language to my family, so particularly enjoyed spotting this in the wild on the tube on the way home.

Great to hear this important research on the talented teachers we are missing from our classrooms on BBC Radio 4 Today plus some practical ways you can offer teachers who are also parents flexibility.

A powerful vision beautifully expressed by Mufti Hamid on the difference education can make to our society in these troubled times. "Our schools are also drivers for change, the pioneers of a better future, and the hope of a more peaceful, more caring world."

This is the only misstep I’ve seen Phillipson make so far. There is no way colleges can wait until Jan to find out if they can offer BTECs next September. Open evenings are this term! Ads need designing, staff sorting! And crucially: this would never happen to A-Levels.

Big structural change at DfE. Story 👇

Resolving this situation really matters. Have the government created the conditions to do this effectively and will the sector have enough time to respond to the outcome?

A £2.3-billion boost to the core schools budget in 2025-26 will see per-pupil spending in England rise by 1.6%, putting resources above their 2010 level for the first time. That follows a similar rise in per-pupil spending last year. [THREAD: 1/3]

But schools also face big & rising costs. Special needs funding will rise by £1bn next year (or 6%) but numbers have been rising faster than that. The 5.5% pay rise for teachers agreed from Sept 2024 will cost ~£450m. That leaves about £850m for other costs & priorities. [2/3]
