… which is where 75% of kids in a selective system *go*
@JonathanSaxelby @theGrit_music @SaltireSmurf @GregHands If you mean grammar schools it was the Tories who converted most of them. Privileged parents hated secondary modern schools which is where 75% of kids in a selective system went.
“If you don’t pass the 11 Plus and you’re in Burnham, you’re screwed. It is complete and utter hogwash.” Buckinghamshire Council won't support a new local non-selective school in a town with only a grammar school. bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/23829776.…
A head of a grammar school that kicked out lower-performing sixth-formers has been found guilty of misconduct. He said he was not aware that it was unlawful at the time as it was “common practice” amongst grammar schools. 🫤 schoolsweek.co.uk/grammar-school…
Press release from @ASCL_UK says the Prime Minister's "British Baccalaureate" plan has not been discussed with the education sector, and "without any detail of what is being proposed it is a policy which is largely meaningless".
Great piece from @MarinaHyde . Remember the Brand/Andrew Sachs story. The real victims get overlooked so often in these media firestorms. That has to be called out.
This needed to be said. Brilliant from @MarinaHyde theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Kent wants 80% of pupils issued with education, health and care plans (EHCPs) to be in mainstream schools by December. Kent has around 100 secondary schools and 32 are grammar schools. Guess which schools will and won't help with this plan? schoolsweek.co.uk/kents-mainstre…
Former Education Permanent Secretary, Jonathan Slater told ministers they should rebuild up to 400 schools each year. Government said it would only pay for 100. Officials tried to get it up to 200. Then Rishi Sunak arrived as Chancellor and cut it to 50. Absolutely damning.
The whole point of Tory policies was to make sure local authorities didn’t have responsibility for schools …
Why don’t the Council Local Education Authorities tell us about the state of their school buildings as they are responsible for their schools? They should know them well.
Medway council is making plans for the percentage of pupils attending grammars to rise from 23% to 28%. "It’s quite unfair to local non-selective schools to cream off more high-attaining pupils and create more of a secondary-modern effect in their schools.”schoolsweek.co.uk/ministers-inte…
Is the government allowing Eton to create selective sixth forms as a vanity project? It seems there are questions about the need for the new schools.
1/x Here's a short thread re today's news about a new 'elite' sixth form college setting up in the Tees Valley and why things just don't add up. I'll start by saying I have no issues with Star or Eton - they are both great at what they do.
Can this be right? @educationgovuk is interested to meet those who campaign against selection on grounds of faith but not a word about selection by 'ability'. The UN Commission on Rights of the Child clearly states UK should end all academic & faith-based selection @comp_future
Despite the DfE being told time and time again that we are haemorraghing teachers and their pay needs to be restored, they decide the solution is to pay £10k to overseas teachers (increasing immigration) rather than pay OUR current teachers a professional wage. I mean... really?
One of the most concerning stats we’ve seen on @TeacherTapp in some time. In 2018, when asked if they went back in time would they still train to be teachers, 42% strongly agree. Today, it’s just 23%. An astonishing collapse in a few years.
'We go above and beyond every day, and every day this takes us ever further away from our own health and wellbeing' An anonymous MAT director reports the state of our schools as a serious safeguarding concern schoolsweek.co.uk/dear-amanda-im…
If you read one thing today, make sure it’s this on Ofsted 🔥🔥🔥 ‘Dear Amanda… I formally report that our children are in danger. We are out of funds, options, capacity and answers. So if not for what is right, then for your legacy, what will you do to save them?’
'Our children are in more and more danger each day' One anonymous MAT director of education takes Ofsted to task for failing to call out abject poverty schoolsweek.co.uk/dear-amanda-im…
🧐🤔🤗 Not quite the 'gotcha' they think it is. I’m a proud trade unionist and Labour is the Party of working people. Their donations are clean, democratic and fully declared. Who funds the @Conservatives? 💸
Who's that MP? 🧵👇 for the answer or visit TheyWorkForUnions.co.uk
Fact that Zahawi hasn't been replaced after five days suggests we're looking at a bigger reshuffle shortly and they know Raab is toast.
It's wrong to assume all SEN pupils are lower attaining. They're massively diverse, including highly able dyslexic and autistic pupils, as well as other forms of neurodiversity". About time grammars left their comfort zone and tried some inclusive teaching. @comp_future
"Einstein was dyslexic and apparently hopeless at school tests, and Bill Gates has autism. It is highly likely that both men would have been rejected by an English grammar school." Grammars discriminate against SEND pupils @comp_future schoolsweek.co.uk/grammar-school…
It's time we abolished the outdated system of grammar schools and secondary moderns that still exists within the UK. The system disadvantages those on free school meals and with additional needs. @comp_future Read more: centrethinktank.co.uk/end-selection-…
Which parents like grammar schools?
An MP took two years to respond to a letter about grammar schools. Was it worth the wait? @RobBAylesbury says grammar schools are about 'a diversity of schools' and 'parents like them'. Clearly not all parents like them, as this excellent letter proves. comprehensivefuture.org.uk/it-took-two-ye…
