Great idea- hoping to find others working to offer and support the implementation of #Supervision in #Education. Working across the country and across sectors I hear a lot about dilemmas senior leaders are dealing with.
It would be so good to connect
This is really welcomed news
Schools will no longer be publicly compared to the national 'average' for their progress scores in a proposed overhaul of government league tables

NEW BLOG: Three routes to trust consolidation
Writing in @cstvoice.bsky.social today, I make the case for three distinct ways in which our education system might become more coherent, impactful and better value for money.

An excellent colleague to work alongside/ who really does walk the walk of ethical, inclusive high standards
🏫 When Dr Jenny Blunden took charge at her Cornish trust, its three schools were 'broken'
But in a fight against low aspirations, the CEO has added successful schools and continues to battle for them as budgets remain squeezed
Read our profile of her here 🔽
Breaking: Ofsted will check every school’s policy on mobile phones during inspections and ministers will issue 'tougher guidance for schools' on restricting the devices, the government has announced

Yes pls
Brilliant! Congratulations both
This is super helpful and appreciated thank you
📕Our pre-Budget briefing is out
Next week, the government faces unavoidable trade-offs between political demands and economic reality.
With it likely the Chancellor takes a 'smorgasbord' approach of smaller tax rises - we look at the risks, tax options, and other policies to feature next week -
Precious memories being made
I have no doubt that someone, somewhere is ruining this is a win because of “engagement”
It isn’t. This is tone deaf and really
Irritating
“Some of the rhetoric we’re hearing – racist rhetoric, divisive rhetoric – that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago is returning to politics and it makes people feel very scared,”
Says PM who in May sounded like the unlamented Enoch Powell with his "island of strangers" speech 😡🙄
Finally got round to writing about this. We're not making enough progress with challenging educational disadvantage. We should pick key areas that face wicked problems, suspend how we normally do things, and try radical collaboration:

It is utter bullshit that the mistaken splicing of two bits of his January 6th 2021 speech on Panorama in October 2024 had any significant impact whatsoever on the reputation of Donald Trump in Britain, or globally, and the claim for $1 billion damages is bullshit and bullying by the US president
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
Nice response to the curric & assess review. In case it’s paywalled for you, @missgoodyear.bsky.social & @samgibbs.bsky.social conspicuously don’t go down the ‘implementation’ of ‘what works’ (ie data-farming) path, but instead go with attuning to & meeting actual needs.
Happy #neuroqueering! 🦋
Many, many happy returns lovely Beth xx
ICYMI: Government has accepted the Francis review recommendation to introduce RE to the national curriculum - but has said the sector must 'reach consensus on whether this is achievable'
Followed your holiday with joy! All good here
Be great to catch up before Christmas x
Thank you
Son I’ve to hear from you x
It’s an important welcomed piece. Thanks to your and your team for such success in the face of such complexity
Wow, quite the day! Thanks to all of you that have supported, engaged with, and input to, the Curriculum and Assessment Review. Having the different sources of evidence, including the experiences and wisdom 'from the ground' from teachers and school leaders, has been pivotal. Many thanks again!
📢 Join us on Friday for Under the CAR Bonnet - a free Schools Week webinar on the curriculum and assessment review
We'll interview review chair Professor Becky Francis to get behind the headlines of her landmark report, followed by audience Q&A

"We do, though, recognise that there could be unintended consequences with this, and we’re certainly not thinking of them as KS3 Sats."
Becky Francis on the introduction of new Y8 examinations (or 'diagnostic checks') - and more - below
Congratulations to @beckyfrancis.bsky.social and everyone else involved in the curriculum review. There's bits I'd quibble on (oracy focus an issue unless defined) but I found myself nodding and going "yeah sensible" to almost all of it. Also I agree with the tests in Y8 too.
Hahaha I just thought this
Came for the recognition, left with an oozing chocolate brownie
Which of the curriculum and assessment review proposals has the DfE rejected or will not implement as prescribed?
There are only a few areas of disagreement - @cerysturner.bsky.social has the lowdown below

The final report of the independent curriculum and assessment review is OUT.
Deep gratitude to the thousands who participated. One thing that’s clear is that there’s abundant expertise and passion across our system.
