Thank you @branwenjeffreys external support for Heads to stand up to the system is so important
I won't give up until Ofsted is radically reformed. So please stand up for Ruth, stand up for yourselves - taken down your banners, hand in your badges, Ofsted must be reformed Julia Waters tells headteachers - everyone is on their feet applauding her speech

Earlier today I watched Julia Waters speak - just finished filing the final pieces. Ofsted has said it has confidence in its inspection of Caversham school but no further comment today

Thanks @calvinharris for spending 1,182 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Potion (with Dua Lipa & Young Thug). #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/7Caj…

When I tucked a hand written note onto @Mike_Fabricant’s windscreen this week, I didn’t expect such a prompt response! Thank you Michael and good luck with the HS2 conversation regarding the 4 year closure of #streethay public right of way to our local canal @CanalRiverTrust

1/3 Great article from @Helen_Amass here. Notes that 9% of children have still not passed phonics test by end Y2. Only c. 1% will have severe learning difficulties or other complex needs... rest will be disadvantaged, dyslexic or have language needs. So .. tes.com/magazine/teaching-le…

3/3 its heart, whch was seen to be anti-phonics. It's not. Phonics taught every day but in personalised way along with language, fluency, comprehension. Orthodoxies don't help the children who find it hardest to learn to read.

2/3 So what can we do for the real strugglers? We had a national solution once. Was called Every Child a Reader. It worked - got 80% of these children back to expected standard in 12-20 weeks. But it was cancelled because felt not to fit phonics orthodoxy. Had Reading Recovery at

Year 1 have really enjoyed listening to @BottledBook today. They discussed the different types of emotions and explained that it was perfectly normal to feel those emotions. Our highlight of the day was getting to meet both of the Brassington brothers 💛#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek
