This long read from Daisy is rightly getting a lot of attention. It sets out where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re now going. It shows that, even if a policy shift is inevitable, we needn’t repeat mistakes from the past. Anyone with policy influence must read.

Why are we making these mistakes again?

A few people have asked for a pdf of our Adaptive Practice learning mat for @trust_leaf TA’s so here it is. But note - it’s our current effort, not the definitive word! headteachering.uk/wp-content…

I feel so sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming "It's ONNNNNN" to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.

My new book, Building Belonging in Schools, is out next month. It’s available for pre-order now. I’m convinced that we can really shift the experience that kids have in schools, and make them places where they love to go. This book is my attempt to set out how.

I’m Gen X. I spent my childhood terrified of quicksand, spontaneous human combustion and the Bermuda Triangle. Turns out I should’ve been worried about my knees.

We had our first experience of this framework this week and this is very welcome news and long overdue. Let’s hope they don’t just tinker around the edges and actually understand it is a revolution, not evolution, that is needed @LucyMPowell theguardian.com/education/20…

I’m on the fence about Ofsted. But, having gone through 4 inspections since the change in framework…there is nothing consistent about them.

We’re pleased to share OCMAT’s Mainstream Inclusion Strategy exemplification and a practical template for schools. We hope it supports high expectations while reducing barriers to learning, participation and belonging. Please use or adapt anything useful. ocmat.org.uk/Our-Inclusion/

Our Inclusion

At OCMAT, inclusion is at the heart of our approach to education. We believe that every pupil should have the opportunity to participate, learn, belong and succeed.

🌟 New Blogpost Is it time to redefine SEND? sendmatters.co.uk/2026/09/13… Comments, reposts and likes welcome - keen to hear what others think of my argument here. #SEND #SpecialEducationalNeeds #Education #TeachingAndLearning

Is it time to redefine SEND?

Defining special educational provision as that which is ‘additional to or different from’ feels less fit-for-purpose with each passing academic year. Is it time to redefine SEND?

Some high school kids were talking and said “No way Gen X wrote 10-page papers without AI.” Oh, honey. We wrote them without reading the book…the night before they were due…by hand and in cursive. We are not the same.
