Given that ~80% of school policies relate to legal requirements, I believe the DfE should write and update them, and schools should only need to link to them on their websites. The constant writing, updating, checking, ratifying of policies is bonkers and massive workload issue.

New PISA data out- and a huge success story. England is now a top-10 education system in the world. Outside of Asia, one of the highest.
New PISA 2025 results:
Science: 8th in the world, up from 13th
Reading: 9th, up from 13th
Maths: 10th, up from 11th.
While much of the OECD has gone backwards, England has has held its ground while most of the world has gone backwards. Huge achievement by school staff.

Listen to the Finnish president—this is what a real leader sounds like, unlike the nonsense Trump says.

Some of our KS1 Choir paid a visit to Edwalton Manor Care Home this afternoon.
They were absolutely fantastic and a real credit to everyone 🎶🎵🎼 @HamberleyCare

1. I work as a consultant cardiologist in a large tertiary centre providing care over 1 million people.
➡️ There are 30 of us, and 70% of Cardiologists in my unit including myself are either immigrants themselves or the sons and daughters of immigrants
➡️ many of my colleagues are Muslims who provide care to you and your families
➡️ whilst a minority are out rioting, flashing Nazi signs beating up people of colour many of whom look after their families- including their elderly relatives- the majority of the good people of UK are sickened by these individuals who do not represent us as a country.

Congratulations 🥳 Your pupils did brilliantly.
It’s been a great week for #TeamEdwalton with another trophy to add to our cabinet. Fantastic performances from our athletes today at the @FlyingHighTrust annual event. Winning the event is a fantastic way for our year 6 to finish their sporting journeys with us. Well done ❤️

Be careful of 'low expectations' for the disadvantaged children you teach please.
I was Free School Meals.
English isn't my first language.
I grew up in an overcrowded household.
My grandparents were illiterate.
I got a doctorate and am now Head of the primary school I went to.
😃
Lovely letter to receive from Ruth Edwards MP celebrating our unique school.
….‘another area of such excellence’ thanks, we think so too!
Oh and we’d love to have you in for our careers week @Ruthedwardsmp2 #schoolgamesmark #platinum #schoolfarm @FlyingHighTrust @ukedchat
Anyone else find themselves sorting their work diary and meeting agendas for next week at 4am?! #4amclub #headteacher @theprimaryhead @Headteacherchat @secretHT1
