She was only four when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. Just turned six when Musk decided to join Trump on Putin’s side and help the Kremlin killers murder her

I think we need to start talking about the impossible challenges that teachers are facing.

For balance, LAs also charge a “top slice” to schools for central services. Last year, Leeds charged 9%. A large MAT, on average, charges 5%. This year, 25 councils also essentially “GAG pooled” by not paying within 2.5 per cent of the NFF value across at least one factor.

Thousands of Coventry City fans are packing the streets for the open top bus parade, followed by the “We Are Back” festival at 3pm, where 50k tickets were sold!
Great to see Coventry enjoy some good times again, they’ve had it rough for far too long… 🩵

We already know that top performing state schools admit fewer children eligible for free school meals and fewer children with SEND - even when they live in the catchment area.
Schools that make efforts to be more inclusive should be supported, not penalised.

"Disingenuous" doesn't even begin to cover this which just went out on @SkyNews 👇even by Braverman's already stratospheric standards
Ridge : Why didn't Farage declare the £5 million donation ? Parliamentary rules say new MPs have to declare 𝐚𝐥𝐥 registrable benefits in the 12 months before being elected
Braverman : Are you suggesting Farage should go around without security - do you want to get him killed ? (basically)
👏@SophyRidgeSky for keeping cool (despite hay fever and said disingenuousness) and repeatedly not letting her get away with it

My friend Spencer, like all of us here, has just been hit by @reformparty_uk’s @WestNorthants Council Tax increases despite @Nigel_Farage’s promises not too! 😔
This isn’t sustainable.
I firmly believe that living in the #UK is becoming unsustainable for many.
It’s a bankrupt country.
There are too-few people to haul the heavy locomotive and quite frankly I’m fed up of being one of those people.
Something has got to change.

I’m not a statistician. However, there will, by the very nature of averages, always be some schools with outcomes below average….
