Education, youth justice, children's rights and Welsh nationalism are my passion but my family, the coast and food make me smile!

One of our school leaders in Wales was asked to submit three priorities for his school in the forthcoming year. My advice? 1. Today 2. Tomorrow 3. The next day. That’s as far as we can go at the moment. This is crisis leadership.

Yet another U-turn. This is no longer about whether you are left, right, Marxist or far right.
This is about competence, making the decision you believe is correct and standing by it.
This is by far the worst government I've known in my 31 years. They are bringing shame to the UK

So..my neighbour got a predicted A from her teacher, B in her mock...and was given an E. A kid from the private school on the next road got a C in her mock, a predicted B and was awarded an A*.
Just...? Kids..you'll be of voting age in the next general election. Remember.

Hearing some of the stories today coming out from local schools about withdrawn university places from incredibly hard working students who have overcome odds most of us have never even heard of, let alone faced, is making me weep.

📣 NEW YEAR 7 PUPILS 📣
To confirm, we would like pupils to be in school uniform in September. However, in the first instance, blazers should not be worn. Pupils will be expected to wear blazers as soon as it is safe to do so. #TeamTâf

R is our school's top English student. She got 9 at GCSE. She got A at AS. She is studious, precise, deeply thoughtful. She has just had her A Level grade reduced from A* to C, apparently just because she goes to a disadvantaged school. It might help if you liked her poem.

"If the criticism from your parties in England means anything, you and the Education Minister must now reassess your approach."
Plaid Cymru Leader @Adamprice has written to Mark Drakeford demanding pupils who were awarded lesser grades be upgraded to teacher assessment grades.

"Os yw’ch pleidiau yn Lloegr yn ddiffuant yn y feirniadaeth hon, yna mae’n rhaid i chi a’r Gweinidog Addysg hefyd ailasesu."
Mae arweinydd Plaid Cymru @Adamprice wedi ysgrifennu at y PW Mark Drakeford gan alw arno i godi graddau disgyblion oedd yn îs nag asesiadau’r athrawon.
