Only when the job is so overwhelming will people realise that we can't make children smarter, or happier by.. Starting school earlier Testing earlier Testing more frequently Making the curriculum bigger Making the school day longer Pretending that SEN + mainstream are the same

I was lucky enough to grow up listening to Ray French on “Rugby league Round up” on Sunday evenings @bbcmerseysport ,then watch so many of his tv commentary games and then actually work alongside him. This is from when he retired in 2013 .R.I.P Ray https://t.co/GNQW7xtsn9

Really sad news. A genuine rugby league legend and the voice of the sport for so many. But also a man who had time for everybody. Thoughts with his family and many friends
Sad news Ray French MBE, the former St Helens, Widnes and Great Britain international & for many years the voice of rugby league on the BBC passed away earlier today. Ray, who has been suffering from dementia in recent years, was 85. Thoughts are with Ray’s family 💔

The real pillars of our education system are the outstanding school staff - they're the reason we're still standing strong. Not because of DfE or OFSTED, but the unwavering dedication of those in our classrooms. A hearty salute to all of you!
