We recently launched the Who is Losing Learning Solutions Report, laying out our plan to end the crisis of lost learning.

At the heart of our recommendations is whole school inclusion: a system where all staff support the learning, wellbeing, and safety needs of all children.

It was great to have introduced Isaac to some of his edu-heroes today. He was spoilt with cuddles and love. It felt symbolic holding 12 week-old Isaac as 200+ colleagues discussed a path towards a flourishing education system. There's so much hope for the system and the answer lies within.

This is v important - schools in places like Bradford aren't getting funded to match the level of need.

The key issue is a lack of engagement with the benefits system compared to white British communities - which plenty of people would see as a good thing!

The FSM/PP system needs to change.
The free school meals gap exposed: a significant number of pupils living in poverty, notably those from Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian backgrounds, are missing out on FSM, an @edupolicyinst.bsky.social report warns

Restrictions on the use of smartphones in schools can heavily reduce pupils’ overall screen time, suggests new research.
