I intend to keep re-tweeting this to preserve Ruthβs memory on EduTwitter. If you feel itβs a good thought, please RT, or drop a like. I canβt believe that inspection did this to a headteacher & Iβve dedicated my last book on inspection defence to her.
RIP Ruth Perry.

I can accept a bit of banter. But Iβve had some abuse about getting the summer holiday off (apparently paid). So hereβs a reminder..
Iβm not saying there arenβt other professions with similar circumstances, but we deserve a few weeks off

Leaders deserve better notice than this @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @JoshMacAlister. Please start to value the profession.

So much sense from Keziah
βIf there is to be no more money β and we have to make do with less (again) β then there are some real expenditures the Department for Education could actively work on reducing that would help hugelyβ

Great article. A must read.
Are EHCPs driving the SEND crisis or a symptom of it? Is SEND demand in 2025 any larger than it was in 2010? Will scrapping EHCPs actually achieve anything productive?
One of the best analyses of the SEND crisis I have read from @MargaretMulhol2
