No single villain in the crisis facing young men — and it’s not boys vs girls. Shame dysregulates; you can’t reach Bloom from the survival brain.
Sparked by Gareth Southgate’s new film, via @BBCr4today. My take + the data 👇

Absolutely love the triggering this has produced amongst the usual crowd.
Try to understand the man and his positioning in society growing up and you might see the truth of what he is alluding to.

It is very simple: If we are really looking to raise standards in schools we must also invest in children’s, youth and family support as well as a wider pedagogy and curriculum. It is the only way to ensure every child is given the best possible start in life.

As @KumarAshwin says … “Fixing the SEND system is not only a moral imperative, it’s essential for our country’s future. Too many children are being denied the support they need to thrive & the cost of inaction is measured … in growing inequality” tes.com/magazine/news/specia…

Out today. Why schools don't work for far too many children - and what should we be doing about it! My conversation with Amal Rajan! Available from @BBCSounds now.
In case anyone has a spare hour & is interested in knowing why I care so deeply for the students I work with;

This is the change we need! I am so glad to be part of the steering group driving this forwards!
I hope the Government will work with us to change an education system too focused on the university route and excluding far too many young people from school.
We need two equal routes at 14 - one academic, one technical - and our #MBacc achieves that. 🙌🏻

Couldn’t agree more with this commentary about how we respond.
#Adolescence, a fictional TV series, has prompted a lot of discussion about teenage boys, with a lot of hand-wringing, and various fear-based reactions proposed. I worked with young offenders for over a decade, and my son will soon be 13. Here's what I've found to be true. 1/4

So much STUFF coming at schools and school leaders currently... Please do seek help. Having learned the hard way myself about burnout...you often don't see it yourself. Seek support.

Anonymous post: Hi, could you put out a request for any tips on grants to help renovate playgrounds and outdoor spaces? We’re in urgent need but struggling to find funding. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🤩
Proud to have joined colleagues in discussions between GMCA and @educationgovuk looking at how well GM is doing and how inclusive @AndyBurnhamGM MBACC pathways are. The region is really a beacon in looking for innovative & inclusive solutions for our young people
