Labour had the opportunity to make some changes to ease the pressure on educators and children but instead they decided to ramp things up with targets because they're more interested in looking 'tough' than actually supporting us. Imho. 🤷‍♀️

In light of all Chump's angry attacks upon democrats and states in the Divided States of America, wouldn't the UK be the bigger country if all political parties showed some unity? Bashing and attacking each other is no different to the Tangoed Chump.

The national year of reading - is this new?
November 12, 2025 at 4:32 PM
Of course there will be more people applying for ITT in certain subjects because of the money. Then they will find out how bloody hard it is.

This problem with every government when reviewing a curriculum is that they go straight for the almighty OAK and forget about the acorns which is where the foundations start.
November 12, 2025 at 4:27 PM
This government professes to have more MPs from comprehensive education backgrounds and yet they focus on the trusts for the expertise.

Greatly disappointed. What a disappointment.

Oak - highest quality? How do they know????????
November 12, 2025 at 4:23 PM
Isn't play-based learning still about learning to read and write????????

Why separate them!!!!!????

MOT done with £1 for a replacement bulb. Relief. My car is 2013 with 57,000 on the clock. I have driven less than 1000 miles since it was last tested. I use my car to get Mum out and about as well as to hospital appointments. Walk and bus the rest of the time.

Trump is incredibly unpopular here! including amongst Tory voters. What are they doing?
Conservative Shadow Culture Secretary Nigel Huddleston tells GB News that the BBC should "grovel" to Trump.

Amazing how many British 'patriots' are spending their time telling our national broadcaster to prostrate itself before a hostile foreign leader

As an adult now, when you were at school, did you learn better because you were offered a reward, house point, extra playtime or simply because you wanted to learn?

What motivated you to take charge of your learning?

Riot Women. Happy Valley. Strictly. Sherlock. Line of Duty. Peaky Blinders. Traitors. Race Across the World. Planet Earth. Match of the Day…Are we really going to let the right wing culture wars coup at the BBC news department bring down the whole thing? It’s exactly what they want.

This is me just responding to the news that #Drama has found a way back into curriculum. For some of us it never left.
After making this I went and taught Y2 (Christopher Columbus) +Y5 (The Space Race and Propaganda). Both sessions wrapped in story, Drama, + #Botheredness.
