In my latest podcast, @jonnyuttley.bsky.social explained why a state school having a good 'reputation' for supporting children with SEND can sometimes be a cause for concern. Listen to the full episode here: insideyoured.com

🚨NEW PODCAST🚨 Is school admissions the missing piece of the SEND puzzle? @charleyo.bsky.social and @jonnyuttley.bsky.social join me to discuss the findings from a new @suttontrust.bsky.social report on the difficulties some pupils face accessing top state schools. Listen here: insideyoured.com

The only newsworthy aspect of the far-right anti-migrant protests currently is how pathetically small they are. Last summer 60,000 people came to the Restore Nature Now protest in London, and the BBC didn’t even report on it. bsky.app/profile/sund...

Times: "Asylum protests swell across the UK " headline, reporting an underwhelming wave. Leeds "draws 70" Cardiff "disorganised + small" Altrincham "*swelled* to around 200" Cheshunt about 250 Chichester: about 100 Portsmouth: about 70 v 70 on each side www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Just watched Chappell Roan’s performance at Reading on iPlayer. Even more excited about being the oldest man in her crowd at Edinburgh next week! Taylor Swift, Sam Fender twice, Jamie Webster, Bruce Springsteen, The Lathums and Chappell Roan over the last 12 months. Best year of music!

Another controversial opinion: we should not have millionaires as a result of selling services to schools.

This is a hugely significant moment and long overdue. Time for the truth about Orgreave & the actions of the South Yorkshire police before, during and after to be heard. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“If we are serious about inclusion, we should be looking at who attends a school, how representative it is of its local community, how long pupils stay on roll for, who leaves & why, & who goes into elective home education.” @jonnyuttley.bsky.social cited in TES: www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Is a drive to stop bad practice missing from the inclusion agenda?

Leaders call for scrutiny of admissions, pupil movement and the impact of sanctions on students with special educational needs and disabilities

"Ofsted’s focus on inclusion is welcome, but @ascl-uk.bsky.social's @pepediiasio.bsky.social questions its ability to accurately assess this." @jonnyuttley.bsky.social is also sceptical that the Ofsted inclusion criteria will work. @tesmagazine.bsky.social www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Really excellent article @johngroberts.bsky.social with dangerously sensible points from @jonnyuttley.bsky.social @jarlathobrien.bsky.social @warrencarratt.bsky.social and others. The inclusion element of the new Ofsted toolkit is dangerously tokenistic and not looking at intake makes it pointless.

The focus on making schools more inclusive is missing an effort to root out bad practice, leaders tell Tes' @johngroberts.bsky.social

This is going to be a fantastic read. Showcasing some absolutely brilliant teachers.

My latest books study truly great teachers teaching, doing the real work, and their pupils making tremendous progress. It's clear that they have several things in common, one being that they teach with enthusiasm! @crownhousepub.bsky.social Get your copies here: www.crownhouse.co.uk/this-much-i-...
