I think this tells us everything we need to know about the current Ed Sec: no mention of teachers, school leaders, or the excellent work done by support staff.
Key Stage 2 results are in...
Since we entered government, children’s reading, writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar, maths and science have all improved.
School standards, attendance and behaviour are all on the up under Labour.

I call this 'Beanbag Leadership'. "And what did the teacher do to make you swear at her? Never mind, go and have a sit on the beanbag in my office". I wish I was exaggerating.
Thoroughly depressing article. All the eduvoices that have led to this carnage are present in England too, and we need to be constantly vigilant to prevent them getting anywhere near the levers of power.

Daughter, who is studying Veterinary Medicine, rang me. "Guess what we were taught about today? Learning styles". Why? Why is this nonsense still doing the rounds?

Amazing, isn't it? If you know stuff, and you're given opportunities to express the stuff that you know, and some expert role models thrown in for good measure, you become quite good at expressing yourself.
Michaela’s goals are the old-fashioned goals of a traditional school.
Oracy is a made-up word.
We don’t follow fads.
We take good practice from excellent schools and adapt for our cohort and building.
We do what’s right for kids.
Take the road less traveled. ✊🏾

Left school at 3.30 to drive to pick daughter up from uni. Back home, after 7 hours of driving. What on earth was going on on the M5/6 today?!

100% agree. All MATs and schools should follow suit.

Where is the parent in all of this? All the blame on the school and the teacher.
Poor school attendance by any child is always a symptom, rather than the cause of the issue. What falls away first is engagement - the style of teaching, learning & support doesn’t fit the child - inevitably followed by their attainment and only then by their regular attendance.

@Glos_Police There is a huge amount of noise in the lydbrook part of the forest right now - rave music. It's nearly 3am. Please shut it down.

@jessicamordenmp may I ask what you are doing about inmates at Park Prison allegedly being allowed to send threatening letters to a victim of one of them?

1) the pupil should be permanently excluded; 2) the police should be called. This is not a difficult question to answer.
"If a pupil punches a teacher, who is PREGNANT, in the stomach, what should happen to that pupil?"
Straight question to @thesnp EDUCATION minister
@JennyGilruth
Pupils & teachers are NOT safe in Scottish schools.
This is not just nonsense, it's deeply damaging nonsense. Placing the blame on teachers for not being engaging is missing the point to such a degree that it's off the map.
