Exclusive: Most trust CEOs say stripping away academy freedoms would have no affect on their ability to run and improve schools
The findings challenge claims by some that Labour’s reforms will ‘destroy schools’

Revoking academy freedoms won’t affect us, say 60% of CEOs

How can this photo not make you smile?
It fell out of a book on Monday when I was arranging the wall of books at my exhibition. So it must have been travelling around the country - on show but unseen - for 7 years now!
But who are you, little fella?
I hope you’re still smiling

We don't need new routes to qualification for early years staff we need funding at a level where pay means more people are interested in working in the early years long term. You can't train up people who don't exist. Shame the DfE still isn't on here or I would tag them. #EYFS #EarlyYearsSky

After my son came home from nursery with sand in his scalp I put this guide together and then put it on my Instagram and Facebook page over the weekend. It is linked to my 4E’s & resonated with a lot of parents of children with Afro hair textures. Early Years Educators you may find this useful 😊

Has anyone used the new DfE benchmarking tool? I don’t know why they are using one set of schools to compare running costs incl staffing and another for building costs, how is that a true comparison? It might be me but any thoughts welcome. #sbm sbl# #education

A huge hug and a big mug of hot chocolate to all those heads who had difficult decisions to make today about opening, delaying opening, not opening... There's so many factors to take into account and you can never please everyone. Thank you for working to keep everyone safe.
