Many thanks to all the @Ninestiles year 7 parents who heeded our advice and dropped their children off away from the main entrance, it made for a smoother start to their school day! Thanks also to the staff for their support in talking to parents about parking and road safety.

I’ve posted this as it shows a senior politician engaging wonderfully with a primary class. Great questions, mutually well-informed discussion and no patronising waffle or incomprehensible ruminating. It can be done ✅🤓 @ela_uob
Getting some help preparing for the next hustings... #TeamKeir

I wrote this in March, and I did it in a lighthearted way simply because I didn’t think it was possible that anyone involved in education would even consider such an obviously and insanely stupid idea for a second. Yet @GavinWilliamson has made insane stupidity into policy.

Not standardised across country, often not full paper, often in class rather than exam hall, some students will not have sat a mock😡we will now have a week of confusion and fury followed by screeching U turn. Our students deserve better, follow Scottish example now

We will be providing and requiring masks of all adults in our all age Special school. During increased opening all pupils were fine with adults in masks. Would love to return without but as an employer how can I differentiate our school environment from a shop?

Follow three sets of images: 1 fragile tissue/human skin set against 2 rigid structures (social, religious, national) that can cause conflict, and 3 light that breaks through. The poem explores how we might avoid conflict by valuing things that tell the real story of our lives.

Hello @BBCArchive Secondary school English teachers would love to be able to access the 1982 production of An Inspector Calls as it is a very faithful adaptation of a text set for GCSE exams. Why is it not commercially available - and can you please consider making it so? 😊

Agreed. Plus the fact that there were many more events and experiences that may have been included but for COVID hampering those plans! #NothingbuttheBest
