I sometimes get asked about the common issues I see across primary schools and the kind of support I offer as a result. This brief blog explains this stuff.
As ever, retweets really appreciated (given that the algorithm hates links to blogs).

But plenty of kids won't get this, so we need whole-class mechanisms for providing this scaffolded practice.

Homework is inherently inequitable.
Children should not need homework to succeed in their learning - the school day should be sufficient.

1 car crash and 2 of the most difficult but greatest months of my life.
I’m an emotional mess tonight but I just want to say, no matter how dark a place you are in. It can and WILL get better. 2 years ago I was in the darkest place in my life, 2 years later we have made history.
Thank you to everyone who believed in me. I love you all very much. I’ll do a post when I’m able to process what’s just happened. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ❤️

Funny how all the men outraged about grooming gangs are silent about Dominique Pelicot, Conor McGregor, Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Prince Andrew or Johnny Depp. Almost as if they’re just co-opting the rape and abuse of women to be racist isn’t it?
Yeah, it’s exactly that.

This is excellent! And I completely agree about the classism in this report. I’ve come across this attitude before and it made me fume then, as it does today.
