Today it was Education Questions in Parliament — perhaps the last time before the General Election. The Shadow Education team were again holding Ministers to account for the mess they’ve made of our children’s future. A thread: 🧵
Hang on? So reading one word ‘inadequate’ wouldn’t make you draw your own conclusion? They have no argument, just stuck in the past. A government that has no trust in the profession, which in turn has lost trust in the government. Ridiculous and bizarre statement.

Always makes me laugh when Ofsted bemoans the fact schools are teaching children to pass exams. The ignorance of the pressure schools are under to get results is astounding. A perfect example of preaching from an ivory tower.

Wrote this blog with slight cynicism towards @tombennett71 but I find it very hard, as a practising head teacher, to disagree with anything he said on Newsnight. oldprimaryhead.com/2024/04/15/don…

@tombennett71 Some brilliant people working in AP have a voice in our new book, AP Huh. It's humbling to read. They do phenomenal work. "Alternative Provision Huh" amzn.eu/d/hFhgmva Mainstream can't meet the needs of some children, whereas AP can. It's time to think differently about AP.
Children are excluded for extreme behaviours, not because schools don’t care about them. Really glad to get the chance to stand up for PRUs and AP tonight after the extraordinary slating that some people give them. Special provision is intensive care for highly challenging kids.

A NEW Behaviour Blog where I try to illustrate why its such a difficult issue and why it can't be a one trick pony, or one person show. We need a government who has a vision for how to improve behaviour. oldprimaryhead.com/2024/04/15/don…

A remarkable video from @LutonTown. I’ve never met any of the players but I got upset watching. They are human beings playing a game. Needs sharing with our school community. Makes me so sad as an educator that this is the society I’ve been trying to improve and obv failing

The idea of placing schools at the centre of community support makes sense. There are lots of previous experiences to build on. @bphillipsonMP @EduFabians schoolsweek.co.uk/how-schools-co…
Just think about how the spending on school transport of £1.4bn a year could be used if all pupils attended their local schools, as happens in some European countries. It is time to invest in the development of inclusive schools. @EquitableEd @csie_uk theguardian.com/world/2024/mar….

I mean, isn’t that the entirety of the point? We *want* people to read the report and draw their own conclusions, right?
Breaking: Scrapping single-phrase Ofsted judgments would lead to civil servants, politicians and the media 'drawing their own conclusions' about schools from the narrative in reports, @educationgovuk has warned in its response to @CommonsEd buff.ly/3waNJlt
@Oldprimaryhead1 @tombennett71 as a now retired HT my final school where behaviour was a real issue, it took many years of hard work to change the ethos and even when we’d got there it had to be upheld, no slack, it’s not a quick fix, what I find concerning is that these gov 1/2
@Oldprimaryhead1 2/2 Tsars have rarely worked in schools where they have had to implement serious changes been to a TB talk and it was basic common sense,when questioned challenging scenarios he was unable to give answers so shut down-easy to talk the talk, harder to actually be of help
Always makes me laugh when Ofsted bemoans the fact schools are teaching children to pass exams. The ignorance of the pressure schools are under to get results is astounding. A perfect example of preaching from an ivory tower.

@tombennett71 Some brilliant people working in AP have a voice in our new book, AP Huh. It's humbling to read. They do phenomenal work. "Alternative Provision Huh" amzn.eu/d/hFhgmva Mainstream can't meet the needs of some children, whereas AP can. It's time to think differently about AP.
Children are excluded for extreme behaviours, not because schools don’t care about them. Really glad to get the chance to stand up for PRUs and AP tonight after the extraordinary slating that some people give them. Special provision is intensive care for highly challenging kids.
"... a disaster most of which can be prevented" Former Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, says primary school children excluded because of their special educational need have been failed. Tom Bennett advisor to the Department for Education disagrees.
A bit of SATs spelling analysis 👇🏼 There are 8 KS2 spelling domains (highlighted below in my @LbQorg analysis) that have appeared in every paper so far (since 2016), with the most common being S38, S47 (both Y3/4) and S49 (Y5/6). 1/4 [Original blog: lbq.org/primary/hub/po…]
Ah... Ofsted.. next week....we have been expecting you ... See you all on the other side of dives of deepness... Fingers crossed 🤞
@Oldprimaryhead1 @Headteacherchat Wins prize for the best answer.
@Oldprimaryhead1 Thank you - a useful article. Behaviour is a subject that causes much anxiety & some want someone to blame. There is no one answer & every school is different. It’s about a culture & about systems and about relationships… it’s not easy & there is no magic wand or silver bullet!
Can't find a Whicker's World gif and once again I'm left wondering what is even the point of the 21st Century.
@OliverRMills It always seems to me it would be better to campaign for more resources for students after exclusion rather than campaigning for them to stay somewhere that hasn't worked so far.
@Oldprimaryhead1 Great idea. Might suggest to my school.
