I’ve spent the week at different settings from 16-19 to primary.
I’ve asked questions about ‘oracy’. It’s been universally deemed important & timely, but for very different reasons: from language delays to readiness for work.
Getting ‘it’ clear, shared, & enacted well is key.

Interesting case studies from this DfE research on belonging.
What struck me:
- Good lesson routines help absent pupils belong again
- Staff belonging comes first
- Belonging is mostly a byproduct, not itself a target.

If the response to a student throwing a chair is to ask whether the teacher made the lesson engaging enough, I'd like to know how boring a faculty meeting has to get before the same logic applies.

.@ASCL_UK passes a motion of no confidence in Ofsted’s leadership and in the watchdog's ability to address what the union describes as ‘the damage being done by the new inspection system’

Today, Ofsted has published findings of an independent evaluation into inspection. It revealed that nearly 90% of leaders said inspections under the new framework affected staff mental health

Cork County Hall will light up in green this evening in support of 'World Pans Pandas Awareness Day'.
PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day is observed on October 9 each year to raise awareness about Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS).
PANS and PANDAS are serious health issues that can cause sudden and severe changes in a child's behaviour, often following infections like strep throat. Symptoms may include obsessive-compulsive behaviours, tics, and abrupt declines in mental health.

Tonight, we shine a light on PANDAS and PANS 💚
The #LightUp4PANS campaign brings landmarks around the world together in green to raise awareness, encourage earlier recognition and diagnosis, and show families that they are not alone. ✨

What better way to kick off your weekend than to be engrossed in a discussion about Choral Response & All Hands Up? 🙌🏼 Check out the latest episode of #OperationEducation
*BRAND NEW* episode of #OperationEducation out now: Choral Response and 'All Hands Up' Questioning.
How can teachers implement Choral Response? What are the pitfalls? What's wrong with 'hands down' questioning? Why is 'All Hands Up' better? Listen now.

Strong piece on the importance of background knowledge for reading. Ultimately, reading development is slow, cumulative, and it requires years of reading experience, practice & skilled instruction. We have to get this right.
For years, we’ve tried to improve reading by teaching children what good readers do: find the main idea, make inferences, visualize, predict. But reading comprehension depends on what good readers know.

The cycle of endless exam resits isn't working. Here's what @LucyMPowell is doing to put it right. ✅

Fed up of pay rises. Focus needs to be on schools having enough money to be able to teach and support pupils appropriately. Well paid teachers are pointless when they cant do the job because all the money's going to our salaries! That's where the stress and pressure comes from!

Body found in search for three-year-old Noah Woods theguardian.com/uk-news/2026… An awful outcome. The deadly triad that is autism, wandering and drowning takes another life. Really angry that the 'search water first' message has not been pushed more here in the UK.
