We have had an amazing term in Batheaston working with yr 4 girls, yr 1,2 and reception. We helped @growbatheaston with the community day on Saturday and have donated a signed @BathCity_FC ball with thanks to @JerryGill_2 to help raise funds. We hope to run summer activities too – at Frome, England

This is the problem, right here. An industry that has failed on diversity and inclusion and excluded people of colour now marking its own homework.

Hi all,
I’m updating our British Values policy.
So far I’ve got:
Misplaced superiority
Cultural ignorance
Religious intolerance
Claiming all fish are British
Deliberately mispronouncing foreign names
Not mentioning the war
Passive aggression
What have I missed?
Thanks x

If someone had told us a yr ago to seat pupils in front of screens for hrs on end,including our youngest learners, there’d have been professional outcry. In the rush for provision of remote learning, we mustn’t lose sight of what is best for our children developmentally long term

Countless people have suffered because Williamson sent millions of children back to school for one day.
And that’s just one of an incredible list of abject failures by this government.
Yet not one of them. Not one. Has taken responsibility for any of it.

‘Once again I’ve had many teachers asking me if they can use my children’s stories to make online videos for their pupils during lockdown. The answer is YES! Please go ahead & use my books in whatever way you want. I am delighted that they will be enjoyed.’ David x

Did Boris Johnson REALLY just say that schools are safe but people mixing inside schools isn’t safe?
So the buildings are safe (when empty) but not when people are in them.
If things weren’t so bad right now his ineptitude would be laughable #dailybriefing
