I’m struggling to understand how teaching post 16 qualifications in a school is worth more than teaching the exact same qualifications and more in a college when we are all public sector.
We need to put respect for ALL teachers at the heart of the education and skills system.
This is brilliant news! Well done 👏 #teamsheffcol

Well said @LordBlunkett Tight timescales don’t bode well given the hundreds of thousands of young people who will be affected if this isn’t done well. I’m really hoping that the Civil Servants will listen and hear the experts and professionals 🙏

I am so very sorry that I underestimated the powerful, unelected and non-parliamentary forces which continue to be ranged against choice for post-16 young people across the country.
I am sad, not because I appear to have lost, but because of the tens of thousands of young people affected. Those who have campaigned so vigorously will not be the losers. It is the young people, whose options and choices will no longer exist. Perhaps, just perhaps, the limited review will save some options from September 2025. However, if the internal review itself is conducted by those who have already made their minds up, the outcome will be a foregone conclusion.

After meeting female finance leaders of Canada, the USA, Indonesia, and the IMF - I say this to women and girls everywhere:
Let this picture show there should be no ceilings on your ambitions, hopes or dreams for the future.
Good decision 👍🏻 IMO to pause defunding quals that have worked for students and employers for many years. A swift review. I hope the time will be well spent listening to expert leaders, teachers, students and employers. This decision affects people’s lives, let’s get it right.😁
Big respect to those brave enough to take on karaoke at #TrafalgarWarehouse tonight for @sheffcath Schools Singing Programme. Brill event @sheffchamber and @SheffPA @LouisaHWalker @richarddstubbs 🎤 🎉 👏 🙌

There’s much more we need to do to break down the barriers to opportunity, but after 14 long years we’re getting on with the job.
Actions, not just words.

A massive well done to our bakery students who swept the floor at the @abst_ Awards.

Huge congratulations to all involved!

BREAKING: President Biden just delivered the line of the campaign. If you get knocked down, you get back up again. Retweet so every American sees the thunderous applause and enthusiasm President Biden just created.
The team have worked so hard on this for months and I couldn’t be more delighted for them. @lenunwin has inspired, supported, lived and breathed this comp with the team - we’re so lucky to have you 🤩 (notice your award didn’t get a mention 🥹). So proud of you all 😍😍
We are thrilled to announce that our catering students have made us proud at this year's @RestaurantYoung Team of the Year Competition! 🎉
