Racial Equity in the Early Years Conference Monday 4th November 2024
Don’t miss the opportunity to take up one funded place per Haringey setting. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so book now to avoid disappointment!

What’s going on with schools in England?
How come so many academy schools controllers are super-rich supporters of #Brexit, #BorisJohnson & Michael #Gove?
I’ve been investigating with @warwickmansell
Here’s what we’ve found:

Hi HTs and Principals. I'm taking bookings now for next term for SEF writing, though I'll always try to fit you in, if you have Ofsted pending and you are desperate. DM me for what I can do and costs. Friendly folk, please RT! 😀

Taking bookings now for September 2025 onwards, I still have some dates left for the Autumn term. Visit my website or send me a DM if you'd like to know more about my work.

Check your diaries, don’t lose your vote. I’ll be in Oxford on 4th July so will be registering for a postal gov.uk/apply-postal-vote or proxy vote asap.

📢Food banks often struggle to control stock and have either too much or too little of emergency food pack items. Help them to make sure families are getting just what they need. Download our free app, follow your local food bank, donate and make a difference.

😂😂😂 no one in education would believe that great big porker, Gillian.
Now that is what you call ‘ not research informed’ 😂😂😂
Just desperate Tory lies. Eh, @_MGosling

Teachers please complete this - let’s all have our say about Ofsted.
Really encouraging number of submissions to the thealternativebiglisten.co.u…. When we get to 1k we will begin some initial analysis. Please, keep encouraging everyone and if you are in some position of authority it would be great to give staff time to make the submission.

Not the experience of so many small schools. You created a secondary, subject-based framework that doesn’t fit small schools then penalised them for not living up to it.
Look at your own stats. That’s what’s happened. Too many small schools RI or Inadequate,
Grossly unfair.

After the DfE’s announcement that single word judgements will stay, I’ve seen a few (for they are very few) people saying this is good because parents want them.
Can *anyone* provide evidence of this desire? @educationgovuk @Ofstednews @m_gosling, perhaps who keeps saying this?

This 👇🏻 speak to many women who accessed sure start services and they’ll tell you similar stories. Friendship groups that have probably saved the economy £££s in therapy/ hospitalisation/ medication. Priceless.

And if you really don’t fancy writing this, HTs - it’s a job that can take a great deal of time and you can still struggle to sell your school well - do get in touch. I’ll write it for you, or QA your existing one - and the call with your team to discuss it is so useful. 👍

Incredible that this was produced by the inspectorate.
What were they thinking? Did they really think no-one would criticise this? It’s just rubbish. Thrown together. No planning, no thought, no…
… listening. 🙄

Years ago alarm bells were ringing as soon as I realised that academies could make ‘profit’! It was unbelievable and it has been kept very quiet. Public money going through schools and into company coffers!

Hi headteachers and Principals,
I'm booked up to Easter for SEF writing now, unless you are very desperate and I could possibly fit you in, so we are looking at the summer term. I have availability then. Looking forward to working with you!👍
Ruth retweeted
OK let’s be direct. This need publicising and questions asked:
@MrDavidScales. I and clearly many others think this is totally wrong, indeed ridiculous.
What on earth do you think you are doing?
Attendance is vital to help you learn and earn, we have had record attendance this week. @MrDavidScales describes some of the things we’ve noticed this week and asks us to work together to further improve attendance.
