73% of teachers agree with Izzy that reformed GCSEs have had a detrimental impact on wellbeing. This & a plethora of stats alongside give her the solid evidence base, not those who dismiss her voice. Many are listening Izzy &I think we'll see change. https://t.co/peZorQOMSk

16.4% of the post-secondary students in the UK are ‘highly test anxious’. Find out what the latest exam stress statistics say about this serious issue.
@tombennett71 Hi Tom, thanks for your (not so constructive) criticism. Although I appreciate your OBE and blue tick, you are not a young person in our current system. This is our voice, our experience and you aren’t listening. Exams should not be paramount. #mentalhealthmatters

When will the government understand that the pressure from A-Levels, GCSE's and SATs is too much? And does not equal the grades at the end! RIP Lucas

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak at our local headteachers conference. Here, I discussed the importance of youth voice in schools and fed back ideas from our local youth cabinet about how teachers can make a more inclusive, meaningful and supportive environment.
