1 of 2 - The Department for Education is looking for committed teachers and headteachers who would like to contribute to national policy through the Teacher Reference Group and the Headteacher Reference Group. These groups act as an advisory body for ministers and policy makers.

Great to see children and young people returning to schools, colleges and universities across the country. A big thank you to all that helped make it happen, including hardworking @educationgovuk staff.
It's been an exciting day for pupils, parents and school staff as children and young people return to schools and colleges and are reunited with friends and colleagues. The smiles, cheers and laughter say it all 😊 #BackToSchool

Brilliant to see the PM dropping in to chat to the children at St. Joseph’s and I echo his words: we look forward to seeing everyone back in class. Thank you to all staff, parents and pupils at this challenging time - for all that you do.
It was the highlight of my day to virtually drop in on the Year 6 class of St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Upminster. I’m in awe of the way teachers, parents, guardians and carers have risen to the unique challenges of the pandemic. I quite simply cannot thank you enough.

I have said this before but will say it again - can’t thank enough all the schools, councils and everyone in education who has responded this week so rapidly to the changing situation. Everyone’s utter determination and resilience is fantastic.

South East HMI are starting to carry out interim visits to a range of schools. I have written to heads today explaining the process and sharing key links, including to a presentation from a senior HMI explaining what we do and what we don't do. See: bit.ly/36e9O3i
Thank you to the wonderful Catherine Morley and team at Theale C of E Primary for welcoming me (in a socially distanced/face mask wearing way) to their wonderful new school. So uplifting to see the work they are doing in their beautiful new surroundings.

If your child is unwell, but isn’t displaying any of the three coronavirus symptoms, there’s no need to book a test. After they’ve recovered, they can return straight back to school. #BackToSchoolSafely

A quick line to say huge thanks to all those in education finishing for the summer today - an incredible year which has tested everyone to the limits. I know lots of colleagues finish next week too, so nearly there...
Today I visited @reachfeltham, a major contributer to the @OakNational Academy, to hear about how it has been supporting pupils’ learning and wellbeing during the coronavirus outbreak.

My thoughts are with the families and friends of those killed and injured in Reading. Very sad to hear that a teacher, James Furlong, was among the victims. Tributes paid by his colleagues reflect how much he will be missed.
