New: Nuffield-funded research paper on England’s school accountability system appears riddled with errors
educationuncovered.co.uk/new…
Document produced by UCL’s EPPI Centre and the Centre for Education Systems appears a case study in the dangers of over-reliance on AI in research.

Parent complaints ‘contributing to school staff quitting’ If they think it’s bad now, wait till they’re dealing with a deluge of SEND complaints if the #SENDreform proposals go through…

Good morning,
I hope you’re all well.
Someone gave me an idea last night & a dramatic re-enactment of recent events revolving around the Fire Brigades Union appeared!
It’s authentic & has the (now spiced up) musical interlude!
I hope it brings some much needed laughs.
Enjoy!

"There’s a disproportionate allocation of resources for the detention room. At times, it was so full they couldn’t take the register within the allocated time. Surely the system is broken if you’ve got that many children in detention.”

Brilliant deep dive article that humanises the stories of the blatant harms done by zero tolerance policies in power-hungry academies. Aligns with @natalieben excellent points on TTR last week inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/…

The Active Learning Trust have spent thousands of pounds threatening me with defamation letters. They’ve used several different solicitors to do so. Every time, I’ve said, I beg you, please proceed 😂 they don’t. They know that what I’m saying is true, based on fact and supported by lots of other people. They are selfish, financially corrupt bullies and they need investigating. My MP is onto them but who on high is covering up for them?
ALT The Active Learning Trust are known to extract funding for their own financial gain.

Several journalists have made contact asking for my FOI requests regarding Neale Wade. Why does it take a school to hit rock bottom before alarms are raised? It’s not like there weren’t red flags 🚩 two years ago… better late than never I suppose.

@drsanjoykumar This is how local Cllr who held education and health portfolio and Ghosted me on day one talks about me.

This isn’t new. We all know those schools, that tell parents they can’t meet need, that encourage pupils with SEND to go elsewhere, that make their rules unachievable and make no adaption. We also know the schools that pick up the slack and go above and beyond!

The DfE needs to monitor the distribution of pupils with SEND across schools because some are facing ‘unsustainable’ pressure while others are not developing their inclusive practice, says @TheNFER research

If you're really autistic/adhd we'll diagnose you, otherwise you'll just have to accept you're on the spectrum, but not enough to have a diagnosis 🤦🏼♀️

The third time failed Ofsted inspection Head (Mr Proof of period pains) has zero awareness. 70 staff left in his first year as Head, some walked, some were bullied out. This left him with a huge problem. He can’t see that he is the issue. Narcissistic beyond belief. CEO Lynsey Holzer is negligent for keeping him in his post whilst our local children lose out on quality teaching.

I’m not sure how the DfE thinks complaints between families and schools are going to work. I put in a complaint last month and the school has ignored it, going against their own complaints policy. The school’s weak leadership is now creating a safeguarding issue

The Headteacher, Graham Horn, who made me feel suicidal because of his incessant bullying is still hanging on, even though this is now his 3rd failed inspection. Time to cut the dead wood 🪵 loose for the sake of our local children. It shouldn’t be allowed.

Today - the nasty, incompetent councillor who of ored us parents and fought tooth and nail to protect corrupt status quo and officers. Lied about me and slurred me and parents like me when my son died due to their fault - is being made Deputy Mayor.
