"It is critical that these reforms have the confidence of parents and schools – and it is sensible for the government to take the time to listen and get this right." Our comment on the DfE's decision to delay a white paper on #SEND reforms: https://t.co/7QbHRKB0VB #education

Every school day counts. Government, schools and parents should be proud of the progress we've made together – 140,000 children regularly back in school. Now we must re-double our efforts to continue to drive down absence. My piece in @Telegraph ✍️

All our thoughts today are with the leaders, staff, students and families of Minehead Middle School. Take care of each other and know support is out there for you if needed.

A week ago we had the privilege of hosting panels and presenting at @EducationFest thanks to @shanermann and team. Huge thanks to all who engaged with us and made it such a special experience.

Here’s genuine inclusion. Here’s what it should and could look like https://t.co/897LNTINyh

I definitely don’t say it enough but being part of the @HeadsRoundtable and working with, and being friends with, is such an exceptional privilege that I never take for granted Thank you all involved - you make the difference.

This is EXACTLY what is needed- the jigsaw of community-based care, compassion and excellence is being put back together; showing a government that genuinely gets it and wants to centre excellence and opportunity for all at the heart of policy. 👏👏👏

This is potentially game changing for families. The support they need, used to have, and have missed ….. finally some extra support to alleviate the gaps that schools have been stretched too thin trying to fill. https://t.co/MjBZ9hfK7d

Lovely day speaking at The Festival of Education as part of @HeadsRoundtable

Great to hear Keziah from @HeadsRoundtable talking with pragmatism and integrity around behaviour and the challenges being faced

For the first time in an educational generation I truly believe we have the opportunity with @bphillipsonMP to move beyond the short-term, to co/construct a better narrative and way of being and to ensure we all- regardless of school badge- serve our vocation and our communities.

‘A culture of courage’ is exactly what is needed. From ⁦@MoreMorrow⁩

Although still taking calls when you need us @RosMcM @moonrakerteach and @kennygfrederick are enjoying themselves on #Shetland with friends and partners. (To be fair we are all technically retired!)

Great to connect with new headteachers at the ASCL New Heads Conference - discussing how to tackle challenges in education to ensure every child can achieve and thrive. @ASCL_UK
