If Ofsted want to know the impact they have on teachers, this now has over 3000 responses on people’s experience with Ofsted, it is a bleak read that proves drastic change is needed but won’t happen with this Big Listen PR stunt:

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who braved watching #BREATHTAKING , who commented, who shared their own experiences, who chose not to look away.

Here are my reflections on the astonishing public response to the series - available on ITVX now 💙 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Well done on your dramas becoming the fast-track way to fight injustices.

Please could you now do a drama on SEND funding.

Thank you in anticipation of your support,

Advice please from EYFS colleagues… assessing writing in R and Year 1. How does it differ? How does it transition from Reception to the NC. Any documents that I can be guided to? Exemplification models? I am wanting to learn! Ruth Swailes

The Govt are also really good at:

📈Letting families down because children & young people aren’t getting the help & support they need

📈Not having enough Special School Provision for the level of demand

📈 Mammoth waiting lists for ADHD/Autism support

📈Dangerously high…

- Unhappiest kids in Europe
- Fewer children than ever reading for pleasure
- School buildings crumbling
- less than half the target of teacher trainees
- Biggest retention crisis
- Morale in the profession the lowest ever
- Ofsted…
The list goes on.

They’re delusional

Teachers shouldn’t have to go part time to enjoy any sort of flexibility or manageable workload, they shouldn’t have to carve that out themselves for a pay cut.

BREAKING NEWS (from FT)
UK Tory govt is set to spend £110bn just on interest payments on our debt this year- about the same as the entire EDUCATION BUDGET.

Our economy has been so badly managed, we are set to have the HIGHEST DEBT INTEREST IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD this year.

#TwitterXtinct ?

To mark the rebranding of this site, we thought we'd share a few X's from our #AlphabetsAlive exhibition!

In 'An Alphabet' (Marlborough, 1985) by E.N. Ellis, 26 wood-engravings include an X with - perhaps aptly - a famously extinct bird.
