One of the most common queries we get at the moment is 'what is happening with the Send reforms?'.
@jasminenorden has the answer below...
We’ve had a change in government since the big SEND reforms were announced in February – so will they go ahead as planned? @jasminenorden looks at what we know so far

Excl: Offering free breakfast in schools may be linked to worsening child obesity, researchers say. @Uni_of_Essex' Institute for Social and Economic Research warns breakfast clubs rollout should not encourage 'unnecessary' eating. @tes

Tes investigation reveals just 5 per cent of schools are graded by Ofsted as having both strengths and weaknesses, despite the watchdog’s initial claim that report cards would provide more granular insight
Exclusive: A Tes investigation into the grades awarded in Ofsted inspections suggests the watchdog is failing to live up to its promise to provide a breadth of judgement in individual schools

Excl: Draft proposals for national curriculum and GCSE subjects delayed. DfE had previously committed to September consultation on draft progs of study and subject content - now ‘later in the year’. @tes

📅Excl: Public consultation on the national curriculum has been delayed until the end of the year.
The DfE committed to publishing draft subject plans this September - but we can now reveal that proposals have been pushed back by several months.

NEW: A third education union has declared no confidence in Ofsted's leadership, calling attempts at reform "dishonest and deficient".
@NAHTnews has agreed to explore "all actions necessary" to challenge the inspection framework & its impact on leaders.

🚨 Ofsted klaxon
Repeats comments around 'wanting change' and more emphasis on 'context' - stops short of any new or harder commentary before saying she will not 'duck' the harder problems...

Me for @tes looking at the rise of gentle parenting, and what it actually has meant for schools

Tes magazine retweeted
“I’ve been teaching 25 years and low-level behaviour is so much worse than before - part of the problem is, if you address that behaviour, you get a reaction from the parent we never used to get”
Is gentle parenting to blame? @jasminenorden finds out.

Is there a path to recovery for Ofsted? As the watchdog faces renewed calls for major reform, including from the education secretary, @JohnGRoberts examines what has gone wrong and the options now facing ministers and inspectors. @tes

Is Ofsted on the brink - and is there a way back?
There's a lot of new data on Ofsted today, a lot of noise, but this from @JohnGRoberts cuts through it all and is the thing you need to read to really understand the mess Ofsted is in.

The DfE says it will be able to make a call within 20 days on applications for exec pay to exceed the pay threshold. Under similar rules in FE, it is actually taking up to six months.
Great work here from @JabedAhm

The first commissioned evaluation of the inspection framework is out - and squashed any hope of redemption Ofsted may have.
Heads report mental health concerns, workload pressures & doubt over how context was considered.
+ Just 1 in 10 say no wellbeing impact from inspection.
Tes magazine retweeted
Should specialist schools be in trusts of their own, or as part of 'mixed' trusts? Why are they growing slower than mainstream trusts? How might SEND reforms impact trusts with specialist schools?
A very good deep dive here from @JohnGRoberts

Excl: @ASCL_UK is preparing how it can take more "assertive action" against Ofsted at its exec meeting tomorrow.
Comes after increased pressure on Powell to reform the inspectorate - just a year after its renewed inspection framework was launched.

The problems in France causing widespread pupil protests are very similar to those in England, @jasminenorden has found. French pupils are standing alongside their teachers to try and force a change - but experts think unlikely English students would do the same...
Protests by students in France have resulted in thousands of arrests and hundreds of school closures in recent weeks – so could this unrest spread to the UK? @jasminenorden reports on the problems that sparked the protests

The kids aren't alright: is a lack of resilience the problem? And if it is, is it the job of schools to do something about it?
@Helen_Amass with a superb investigation this morning, read below!

Disappointing that the DfE is choosing not to have a headteacher in residence anymore - you may not have agreed on everything with @andrewoneillHT but he was a voice of a school leader at the heart of the department and that was very valuable.
