Really enjoyed writing this piece with Emma Hughes. Here we explore how to better prevent issues from escalating into complaints in the first place by better tackling what lies at the heart of many of these situations- miscommunication. Check it out here: bit.ly/3Qf6omw

Great post on the new schools bill! The ambition is right but standardising and centralising is not the route to improving outcomes for disadvantaged children. We've been there before and it won't change the financial challenges or level of pupil need that schools are having to deal with.
My latest blog looking at Labour's approach to school policy -- are some of the policies risking breaking opportunity instead of barriers?
Labour's stated mission is to break down barriers to opportunity. Yet some of its policies risk undermining the very system that has best driven the improvement of so many weak schools. Here, Head of Education Tiffany Beck digs deeper into recent policy announcements ➡️ plmr.co.uk/2024/12/digg...
