Due to overwhelming interest in the blue light card for teachers and support staff, the Blue Light Team have been in touch to clairfy a couple of things - teachers.bluelightcard.co.uk
This truly sums up the reality of inclusion and SEND in school. Children, parents and schools are being completely failed. Advocating for the right provision with LAs who aren’t complying with the law is exhausting and depressing.

This just shows their utter lack of self awareness, care or respect for educators or schools. One day to train and change mindsets. So disrespectful. Get rid of them!!
Breaking: Ofsted will delay inspections next week by a day to give lead inspectors urgent extra training on dealing with anxiety and when to pause their visits
It comes after a coroner ruled inspection contributed to Ruth Perry's death

Not as disastrous but as an inclusive 1 form entry primary school with over 10% EHCP and significant numbers of support staff. the governments figures do not add up. Huge unfunded cost, rise does not match cost. Being inclusive is being punished by @educationgovuk @GillianKeegan

We need to embrace what’s great about primary education and shout about it.
Our job isn’t just to prepare children for the next step it’s way more important than that.

🧵 Adult confidence in mathematics is low and many freely admit they’re ‘bad’ at maths but would never admit in the same way they were ‘bad’ at reading. There are deep cultural factors affecting mathematics education and many of the issues are from a lack of confidence & fluency

Girl with a Pearl Earring, painted by Vermeer in 1665, might just be the most famous and beloved portrait in the world.
But who is the girl?
Well, that's the thing. There was no girl, because this isn't a portrait...
