So excited to see these teachers, trained by George Abbot, the secondary partner of @ssfSCITT, on tonight's @BBCTheOneShow. Tune in to find out why teaching is the best job & contact [email protected]/01252 717408 to make the change yourself! Thanks @Linds_bluepeter @lucykellaway
Huge thanks to the team at George Abbot School @gabbot_news in Guildford who hosted Antony, Miles and the BBC film crew. Great school and great teachers.

One to test further in a future poll - there was a lot of appetite in our focus groups for "teaching second" rather than teaching first, or going back into teaching at a later stage (cc. @NowTeachOrg!)

Congratulations to @bphillipsonMP   Labour will be focussed on every child getting a great education. They will prioritise the recruitment, retention and development of the teachers who will make that happen. I hope career changers and Now Teach will be part of their thinking.
