This is so, so important; my research for #LessonsFromLockdown and #BubbleSchools is clear: for all of the (understandable) focus on curriculum catch-up, the pandemic primarily exposed the vital SOCIAL (and socialisation) function of schooling! Social catch-up is so much harder!

Vital thread by Laura McInerney on school leaders’ experience of the pandemic; her findings chime with my own as set out in my Routledge Education Books books #LessonsFromLockdown (2021) and #BubbleSchools (2023); the final book in the trilogy, #ReschoolingSocietyAfterLockdown is out in 2025!

Great to see my discussion with Rachel Johnson PiXL released as part of PiXL ‘In Conversation’ series! We explore the educational impact of lockdown as set out in my Routledge Education Books books #LessonsFromLockdown and #BubbleSchools ; thanks to all involved in making this happen!

As I argue in my books #LessonsFromLockdown and #BubbleSchools , Ofsted needs to evolve from purely inspectoral body to one that is development focused with inspector training a part of Headship development to create a peer-to-peer system, where every head also inspects BBC Radio 5 Live

Tony Breslin BBC Radio 5 Live #LessonsFromLockdown should be essential reading for any aspiring senior leader, at the very least.

Andrew Morrish As I argue in #LessonsFromLockdown and #BubbleSchools , we need reform but vilifying Heads who inspect is wrong; we need mature debate about what a peer-to-peer system - in which Heads are the lynchpin - might look like; piling in on those who hold a ‘badge’ has no part in this!

Very exciting to be starting Tony Breslin’s presentation of Bubble Schools. #lessonsfromlockdown “Let’s not say that it was all the same for everyone and let’s not say that it was entirely negative for everyone.” 1
