- 🛎️ ‘pupils from prestigious private schools who went to leading universities were 52 times more likely to reach élite positions in society than those who attended any other schools.’ I rest my case. Privilege is embedded. Time for racial change 🌹
- Shameful post. I know that you get bored in the holidays and need some attention but this is wholly unacceptable. I doubt you’ve ever been to Southport. You are stoking the flames of extremism and as an education leader you should know better. Your governors need to rein you in.The Left says of Southport: bunch of racist Far Right idiots. The ordinary ppl of Southport say enough of the lies. Southport is an example of multiculturalism failing. But it doesn’t have to fail. I try here in 10 mins @arc_forum to explain why/how. youtu.be/Mn_OohfGTYk?si…
- Here we go: clear research evidence that Sure Start impacted long-term on life chances in this country. Many parallels with Head Start in the US. It took Gove weeks to close the programme with irreparable damage. Basically he didn’t have a clue about EY😞
- Our beautiful daughter Sara just got married ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🦘🍾🥂🥂
- Children soiling themselves, girls menstruating thro their uniforms because they aren’t allowed to go to the toilet. Horrific. Surely this warrants a safeguarding investigation. Sadly we read too many reports about MAT regimes where CEOs are out of control
- As OfSTED receive 13,000 letters praising teachers’ work (and just 260 complaints...mostly from a mysterious SW1 postcode 😂) it’s clear that schools are making the difference for pupils and families. Enjoy this morning’s rainbow. It’s Friday. Lots of love and respect to all ❤️
- What a stunning interview @Channel4News @jonsnowC4 #akala More wisdom than anyone I have heard here apart from @nazirafzal We desperately need to harness these voices and listen properly to what young people from the inner cities are telling us instead of same old menu from govt.Akala talking Knife Crime on C4news now
- Apparently I am 70 today so sporting Liver Bird wings for the occasion and aiming to fly high for the next decade 😎 YNWA
- EdTwitter I don’t have a school or LA to lead now but watching the levels of concern and stress grow as a result of poor leadership and scant concern for your safety is painful. If any ed leaders want to talk off line about any of this DM me. Totally private. YNWA as ever ❤️
- The most popular thing I ever did as Director of Education in Brum was to declare two snow closure days across the city. Never mind all that school improvement stuff ❄️❄️❄️☃️#winter #snow #weatherleadership
- I would put this display in every school in the land. Powerful learning. So much sugar. So much damage.
- My inner-train spotter very happy to see Flying Scotsman and Black 5 pulling 13 coaches at speed across Somerset. Proper train 😊 #FlyingScotsman
00:00 - I often learn much from Uber drivers. Mo was imprisoned and tortured by the Taliban for 7 months, got out and settled his family here. 4 kids all doing well in sch. He’s learning En at College. Asked me about my job and to write down 5 key things about leadership. Humbled.
