Gosh, this is a powerful read: "It is time for the government in England to re-engage the experts in teacher education, the people who have delivered so successfully at scale for so long, yet for who more than fourteen years have been insulted... (1/2)

Latest ITT statistics somewhat positive: most secondary subjects - esp. shortage ones - recruiting better than last year. Primary down a smidge, English down due to bursary cut
But majority still likely to be below target (this is last year's targets: new actuals out next month)

As one of your constituents I'm disappointed in your decision. The argument that one innocent person killed by the death penalty was sufficient reason for it to be removed from use is pertinent here. We all know that there will be one, and likely many more, who will die against their will, under pressure however subtle, if this law changes. One person is enough for me. One person means the world to me. I played my concert tonight for everyone in my (quite elderly) audience who will be feeling afraid and vulnerable at this vote.
Tomorrow, MPs vote on assisted dying.
After being undecided for some time, I have decided to vote in favour of the Bill and my reasoning is here: rachelblake.org.uk/my-decisi…
Please know that I have listened to residents voices and will carry them with me into the Chamber tomorrow.

Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer reflected today on how playing the flute gave him many opportunities at a young age.
Music has the power to enrich young people's lives. It is vital that Labour fulfils its pledge to put music and the arts back at the heart of our schools.

OK, everyone - this is important. If you feel you’ve got skin in the game of education, then you need to contribute to this, and can do so from now until 22nd November. Every contribution counts & will be read.

A useful timeline and reminder how the Conservative government torched the ‘creative’ curriculum.
Music, Drama, D&T and Dance all experienced approximately a 50% reduction in entries since 2010.

It’s a slam dunk. The ‘Labour will raise tax bills by £2,000’ is proved to be a Tory fiction and nothing to do with a treasury calculation. All set out in this letter from the permanent secretary to the Treasury on Monday!

We are Truely saddened by this news. David was a real friend of ours and the world has lost one of the great ones as a friend, a person and anyone who had the honour to meet him new that their life was better for it. His books, his stories and talks inspired many and will live on
Really saddened to learn that fellow @EduFuturists Lifetime Achievement Award winner David Price OBE has passed away. He was a real visionary and an inspiration to many. Education has lost a great friend and passionate advocate
