You’d be hard pushed to find a better role model for social mobility and supporting disadvantaged young people than #freddieflintoff what an amazing and inspiring bloke #freddiesfieldofdreams
Enjoying hearing from some parents of former pupils today telling me about the A-level successes for my first class (Y5-6 2014-16) You never forget your first class - always special. So proud of them.
This is horrifying and terrifying in equal measure. Is this where we are at? Being a DSL is a load of stressful accountability enough on its own without this insanity. Depleted services, real risk. No wonder this wasn’t top priority. Should have been thrown out.

Good grief. I mean GOOD GRIEF.
I feel very sorry for this teacher. gov.uk/government/publicatio…
Every year that MPs have had their imbalanced pay rises compared to the rest of the public sector, the defence has been that they are ‘following the independent review body’ - this will be beyond unacceptable when it happens news.sky.com/story/rishi-sun…

4 1/2 minutes on hold today waiting to get a #999 call answered for someone having a potential heart attack. The #NHS isn’t ‘at breaking point’ - it is broken. The phones aren’t even being answered. Never forgive the Tories for what they’ve done. Terrifying.
It’s not a race to the bottom. I support the #nurses they deserve a pay rise. lumping all the public sector together to divide us doesn’t help. Anyone who clapped them and doesn’t not support them now is a hypocrite.
#NAHT canvassing members on industrial action. Reasons are sound but it will not help the reputation of an already struggling profession. All professional unions should be lobbying for a general strike rather than this which allows division and a ‘race to the bottom’ mentality

Yesterday @educationgovuk published KS2 provisional results for 2022. These are the first since 2019 (no KS2 assessments in 2020 or 2021). A short thread of what we are seeing:
NAHT membership now has doubled with new role - it costs more than my house and car insurance put together. Not sure this feels like value for money for what is largely an insurance policy with little competition - why so expensive?
Freddie Flintoff has nailed the most important aspect in developing young people: relationships. What a top bloke. #FreddieFlintoffsFieldofDreams
Credit to this amazing family, and the DfE for getting this done. This will save lives and should have happened long ago. news.sky.com/story/defibrill…

Analysis of 2022 MTC scores (based on results of 18,683 pupils):
Mean score = 20/25
30% of pupils achieve full marks (25/25 = mode)
Score of 15/20 or lower places pupil in lowest quintile
It’s not a race to the bottom - let’s not let the Tories divide and conquer. I stand with the unions. #dontcrossapicket #railstrike
