Her focus on belonging lays the groundwork for a more supportive and inclusive school environment.

So well observed
So well written
So well acted
If you haven’t watched Trying on @AppleTV you really are missing out. 4 series of beautifully tender and well observed comedy that also shines a light on how infertility and adoption are gruelling and challenging.

“Single-headline grades are low-information for parents and high-stakes for schools. Parents deserve a much clearer, much broader picture of how schools are performing”

Ofsted single-word school ratings to be scrapped immediately theguardian.com/education/ar…
“The merry-go-round of Tory ministers in recent years failed to grip the rising tide of poor behaviour pre-pandemic & then told children & families they’d ‘maxed out’ on Covid recovery support.”
14 years of underfunding may also have something to do with it.

An incisive and powerful piece by @DavidOlusoga “While there were horrific attacks on hotels housing asylum seekers, most of those targeted by the rioters were British citizens: members of communities with histories that go back three generations or more…”
There can be no excuses. The UK riots were violent racism fomented by populism | David Olusoga theguardian.com/commentisfre…

What a blisteringly sharp analysis from @DavidOlusoga, who calls out the riots for exactly what they were - violent racism, fomented by populism.
Please read his superb piece 🔥

🆕 NHS England figures published today show that the cardiac waiting list has risen to a record high for the 8th month in a row, standing at 426,460. This is an increase of over 5000 on the previous month 💔
40% of people on the cardiac waiting list are waiting longer than the maximum target treatment time of 18 weeks.
We're calling on the new Govt to take urgent action - this is essential to prevent more avoidable loss of life📢

Even The daily Mail has called it what it is… out of everything that went on today - this headline just stokes division even further! Disgusting! Irresponsible! Insighting violence! #farrightmedia #farrightriots

It's impossible to view the postings of Farage, without utter revulsion.
He masquerades as a " reasoned commentator" on what he claims to be a national crisis linked to immigrants while claiming he deplores any lawlessness. Then he hints at more lawlessness if his warnings are not heeded.
The reality is that his entire political future is dependent on fomenting confrontation and division. It is by creating a climate of crisis that he has got where he has.
And some of my former Conservative colleagues have argued the Conservatives should be linking up with Reform! Perhaps this shameful episode will open their eyes to his malevolence.
The so called ‘respectable’ face of bigotry & Trumpian inflaming of tension is more pernicious & dangerous than the blatant racist rhetoric & behaviour of the thugs we see on the streets of some UK’s cities.

Teachers are getting a well-deserved pay rise.
The Conservatives left the profession overstretched and undervalued. We said we’d change that, and we meant it.
Very happy to embrace hopeful and optimistic words but will be even happier if they are followed up by action that secures a brighter future for all young people and places education and teachers at the heart of this new government.

Time to let a proper government sort out the mess you left.
Conservatives failed our forces for 14 yrs, with the Army at its smallest size since Napoleon, a recruitment crisis, morale at record lows, and over £15 billion wasted in bad defence procurement.
