Very proud of our president Angi Gibson arguing for inclusivity in schools. @NAHTnews @GibsonAngi #TUC2025
East Midlands train back to London. Young man in a bit of turmoil going to miss his probation appointment asks me for help. Got to be honest I’m a bit lost as to what to do. Everyone turns away. Gotta say, the crew on this train have been fabulous. Humanity & patience. Bravo!

Ofsted asking for parents views on new style school report. Both headteachers leaders @pepediiasio & @PaulWhiteman6 are warning it could be worse not better bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20g…
This is what it’s all about. Grassroots organisation and action. The strength of mutual support and the power of collective endeavour. Thank you to all NAHT lay reps, ordinary members standing up for colleagues and education, wherever you are! @NAHTnews

At @The_TUC Congress ? Don’t miss the @NAHTnews @NEUnion joint fringe tomorrow lunchtime with @DanielKebedeNEU @PaulWhiteman6 @CookieBaloo 👇
Very pleased that the contribution, ideas and innovation of the profession is to be taken seriously through partnership. Co-construction of solutions will bring real benefit to children and young people. @NAHTnews
I’ve reset the relationship between government & workforce — I'll treat you, and your unions, with the dignity you deserve.
I opened the doors to @educationgovuk to discuss how we work together to drive up standards for our children & young people, as we begin the new term.

Simplistic one-word judgments are harmful and we are pleased the government has taken swift action to remove them.

We welcome the decision to scrap single-word Ofsted judgments and to shift the emphasis to supporting schools to improve where required.
But we would have also liked to see the removal of sub-judgments. It is vital these grades do not become proxy measures or given any sort of elevated status - doing so would undermine the positive benefits of removing the headline grade.

NAHT supported head teacher Kelly Vaughan in this landmark disability discrimination case against Ofsted. Despite her victory and Ofsted's apology, @PaulWhiteman6 says the case shows how far Ofsted still has to go if it is to truly change. bit.ly/4fx0F7g
Pleased to have met with @bphillipsonMP today. I left reassured that this is a government ready to properly engage and put education at the centre of progress. I’m sure things will be tough now and then but joint ambition and mutual respect is a very good start @NAHTnews
Paul Whiteman retweeted
We’re resetting the relationship between the government and teachers, so we can be partners in the push for better once again.
No more silly games. We will treat the workforce, and their trade unions, with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Congratulations to NAHTs own @_Amanda_Martin_ on becoming elected as MP for Portsmouth North. Amanda will be a great MP and a prominent voice for education. @NAHTnews

It is deeply concerning that education was almost entirely ignored in tonight's TV debate - our children’s future is at stake. All parties must demonstrate they have the ambition to restore education as a national priority #GE2024 #BBCDebate #ElectionDebate #ForTheirFuture
Whoever forms the next government must put education at the centre of their plans. Education is not a pressure on the public purse, it’s an essential investment in our children and young people, and of course, the Country’s future! @NAHTnews
