It's lunchtime on the last day of term for most teachers and leaders. So, a great time to stumble across the government call for evidence on SEND. This is the most important matter currently facing education - not one to be rushed. You have till Jan 30th.

If the government wants to ensure that 75% of 5-year-olds are ready for school, it will need to recreate the sort of early intervention support that we had under Sure Start, says @annelongfield.bsky.social
Government needs Sure Start 2.0 to hit school-readiness goals
If Labour wants to hit its target of 75 per cent of 5-year-olds being school-ready, it will need to engage heavily in early years support – just as we had before, says Anne Longfield

Some of our Nursery children shared a magical moment with residents from our local care home at the local garden centre. Seeing little hands & wise ones come together reminds us how much joy different generations bring to each other. Moments like these make my heart smile. #GenerationsUnited

Assess, Plan, Do, Review - with "children, young people and their parents/carers at the centre of the decision making process" (p15) now this is something we governors can ask probing questions about- How are our schools ensuring this happens? How do we know? #UKEdGovs

Can you imagine Fiona Bruce stripping off in front of her crew, with only tassels to hide her nipples? Or Mishal Husain making sexualised comments to her researchers? Or Mel Giedroyc thrusting her groin at a young man wiping cake mixture off her trousers? My column in today’s @theguardian.com
Why do some men behave badly? I think I have the answer
From an early age boys are treated as though they are smarter and more talented than girls. It can lead to a damaging overconfidence

I don't remember much about the stuff I had to learn at school. But I will NEVER EVER FORGET Mr Evans, the teacher who just read us stories – pure reading for pleasure, no assessment whatsoever. That's the stuff that changes lives! I'm so grateful to him & all the life-changing teachers out there!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for today. X has been really struggling at school recently & today was such a positive day for him. You gave him your time & made it very special for him letting him come to the meeting room, showing him the CAD designs & answering his questions.
