Absolute madness. One of the results of the curriculum review should be mandating a really good set of textbooks with accompanying booklets that every school has to use. Come at me those who disagree
Almost nine in 10 secondary school teachers are developing their own curriculum resources for lesson planning, according to a survey tes.com/magazine/news/…
The GLT Awards was more than an event; it was a tribute to the people who shape our schools, communities, and future. A heartfelt thank you goes to the organisers, our generous sponsors, presenters, and superb performers. 📰 Read more about the awards ⬇️ greenshawlearningtrust.co.uk/news/?pid=164&…

Carefully and powerfully argued perspective from @dylanwiliam. Love how it dissolves the ‘sides’ that readily dominate much education debate. Well worth a read.
On the grounds that it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission, I've decided to make available online my foreword to Guy Claxton's "The future of teaching—and the myths that hold it back" (Routledge 2021). It's here: bit.ly/ClaxtonForeword
There are few people whose work I respect & value more than @tombennett71's. The snarkery rarely comes from people who work in challenging schools where orderly, humane learning environment is a necessary first step to providing students w opportunity to thrive & succeed.
As a Labour voter working in education, I’ve wanted to write about the Schools Bill for a while. I’m worried about what it includes. But I’m even more worried about where it’s come from, and what it says about those making decisions in education. mrvallanceteach.wordpress.com/2025/05/17/whe…

The judgement on this is really immature. If pupils WANT to stay late and work, possibly because they don't have the peace or space or support at home, and staff are willing to help, I fail to see how that can be anything but wonderful. Amazing service to a community. Bravo.
8.30 and we’re still going. Unbelievable commitment from staff and children! ❤️
Where is the Labour prime minister? Too depressing for words
Settlement in the UK is a privilege that is earned, not a right.
This year group are awesome. So is this teacher.
Shoutout to our amazing Year 11s who worked incredibly hard today - starting strong with English Literature Paper 1 this morning and finishing with a focused Biology booster session led by Ms Friday this afternoon 💪 Keep it up, we’re so proud of you! 📚🧬 #GCSEs2025 #drive
Said to the kids on Friday “wouldn’t kindness be such a great question…” … was told no one on TikTok had predicted it so probably won’t come up. Mrs Webb 1 TikTok revision influencers 0
❄️ A CHRISTMAS CAROL ❄️ Logic: I've been expecting stave 5 for a while to be frank and I think they love a really open ACC question. So maybe... 💰 Potential 1: Family, S5, Fred's xmas 💰 Potential 2: Wealth, S2, Fezziwig (they love S2) 💰 Potential 3: Kindness, S5, ending
Right then. Lit Paper 1. LET’S DO THIS, YEAR 11! 💪💪
I worry about this utility approach to education. And we only have so many hours and resources. schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-told-t…
Year 11 working brilliantly in their English Language Walking Talking mock this morning.
There are things that a printed newspaper can do that no website could ever do. This is magnificent.

You find Adolescence shocking because you aren’t in kids’ online worlds. Kids already know this is happening. Getting kids to watch Adolescence will make zero difference. What you need to do as PM is ban phones to under 16s.
As a father, watching Adolescence with my teenage son and daughter hit home hard. We all need to be having these conversations more. I've backed Netflix's plan to show the series for free in schools across the country, so as many young people as possible can see it.
We are incredibly proud to be featured in School's Week for our English and Maths GCSE results. Congratulations to our students, teachers and families. You can read the full article here: schoolsweek.co.uk/the-schools-wo… #BetterChanceOfSuccess
