The government is expected to call for all schools to be part of a trust in its White Paper on Monday, Tes understands. @johngroberts.bsky.social has the full story on this – and other key proposals trailed by the DfE – here ⬇️

Me too.

This sounds just the thing for these times - I’m here for a song and dance tribute to marmalade

Old friends are important because everyone is different with different people. If you lose touch with someone, part of you disappears too.

Congratulations @georgiagould.bsky.social on your appointment as Minister of State at the Department for Education. We @cstvoice.bsky.social very much look forward to working with you.

Many congratulations Tim Coulson on your appointment as Director General for Regions Group. I am delighted that you have been appointed to this crucial position and we @cstvoice.bsky.social look forward to working with you in this role.

Very proud of this work

Today we have published new research on the special schools workforce in England: an under-researched sector that can get neglected and misunderstood in policymaking. Part 1 looks at staffing, and part 2 next week will have even more insights 👀 www.nfer.ac.uk/blogs/explor... Thread 🧵👇

This is important from @beckyfrancis.bsky.social - as a society, we must care about excellence, inclusion and equity. That means high standards for all. It is how we make our good school system into a great system. schoolsweek.co.uk/what-do-we-m...

We want high standards for all young people, not some

Delivering that vision will mean having a shared understanding of what we mean when we talk about standards

All about music today. Started today with beautiful chamber music at St Peter’s Church Highfields, and now listening to the extraordinary album, Altera Vita.
