The UK economy has problems. There's been barely any per capita GDP growth or real income growth in about 20 years. Policymakers would be better off finding solutions for this than getting primary schools to make lists of children at risk of unemployment. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/schools-ar...
Schools aren’t to blame for the NEET crisis
When learning more doesn’t help you earn more

And that concludes things for this season. See you all next season. Those who hate Arsenal more than they love their team: you can take a break now 😂 Lovers of Arsenal: See you at the parade #COYG
Chasing ‘Belonging’ without a focus on improving behaviour so that the learning environment is safe, calm, orderly and predictable is just the same nonsense from the past.
Isn’t Inclusion everything students interact with in a school? Why rebrand a SENCO job as Inclusion Lead/Director?
This is so important. The same words we use don’t mean the same thing to everyone. This is even the case within schools. Ask your Sendco what it means and then ask your AHT for T&L.

An excellent piece on the White Paper from Cassie. Hopefully, we can agree on what inclusion means and how to achieve it.
Cassie Young@moderncassie.bsky.social · 5mo ago“High standards and inclusion are two sides of the same coin.” After reading the white paper carefully and discussing it during a SENCo forum this week, I’ve written on the shift in language, and what some of this might mean for schools in practice. moderncassie.blogspot.com/2026/03/a-sh...

Thanks for coming to my session 👍
Jon Hutchinson@jonhutchinson.bsky.social · 5mo agoFirst session at @researchedbrum.bsky.social for me was Isaac Moore, who presented a framework for school leadership. A lovely balance of domain specific expertise & relational trust. Key takeaway on the four components of trust. Personal Regard Interpersonal Respect Competence Personal Integrity.
Session 1 @researchedbrum.bsky.social I am speaking on why leaders need a leadership framework for their development in their context and how we might go about doing this. The impact of leaders’ work on staff wellbeing, culture and results for students is too important to be left to chance.
Tomorrow I'll be talking @researchedbrum.bsky.social on one of my minor obsessions: Why sometimes people change and other times they don't. I think it's a big reason why most PD fails.
Are we just going to start putting the word ‘inclusive’ in front of everything now? Inclusive teaching. Inclusive pastoral practices. Inclusive detentions. The last one is mine 😂

You knew he was a racist. And a misogynist. And a liar. And a wannabe dictator. And a scam artist. And that there were umpteen accusation against him of sexual misconduct. You didn’t just vote for him despite all this. You voted for him precisely because of all this.
I'm gonna keep banging this drum: AI is a useful tool for an expert, it can provide shortcuts and efficiencies in the same way as many other tech tools do. AI is a massive problem for anyone inexpert, because it makes stuff up. If you lack expertise you just can't tell how good the output is.
It's genuinely very good; very short and very useful. It's had a big influence in how I plan curriculum.
I still must get my copy signed by the illustrious author!
Re-reading this cracker in preparation for an INSET session I'm leading in January.
I had lots of fun at #rEDCam25 on Saturday. What was super lovely (and unexpected!) was some delegates tell me how much they like my writing because I tackle thorny edu issues very respectfully, and support teacher voices. It meant a lot. Thank you 🙏
The points @msjasminemn.bsky.social makes in the body of the article are important. Rhetoric around immigration has now moved against not only illegal immigration, but legal immigration. schoolsweek.co.uk/ive-given-my...
I’ve given teaching my all. Now I’m told I don't belong here
The thought that I won't be able to be treated as a citizen is disturbing

Whenever I read an article like this about reducing exclusions, I want a chance to hear from teachers in the school. The ones actually dealing with the behaviours in the classroom. www.tes.com/magazine/tea...
How ‘true’ inclusion cuts exclusions
A new approach to inclusion has helped one school to reduce exclusions to zero and significantly cut suspensions. Phil Humphreys and Kiran Gill explain how

Great day at #rED25 and delighted to present my first session after many years of lurking in the audience! Some excellent new ideas for 6th form teaching from a session on the research behind independent learning from @paulclinepsy.bsky.social and @mikehobbiss.bsky.social
