We’ve had some really positive feedback on aspects of our proposed reforms, as well as plenty of challenge encouraging us to make improvements. I’m really grateful to everyone who has responded to the consultation - and Steve Rollett in particular for his 5 challenges.

A very thorough critique of the Ofsted proposals from Steve, and in response a promising piece from Ofsted's Rory Gribbell on where the consultation may bring change tes.com/magazine/analy…

One week left to share your examples of successful approaches to inclusion in mainstream education. We're so grateful for all contributions so far. Help us capture all of the best practice in our schools and classrooms. Submit > inclusioninpractice.org.uk by 1st May. 🙏

If it's true the STRB recommendation is 4% then the one thing government can't do is accept that without funding. For us: -our funding for next year is up by 0.7% per pupil -funding for the NI increase is £1.5m less than its cost -each 1% pay increase costs us ~£3m 1/2

So we would have £10.5m of unfunded costs. It's no good Treasury waving their hands and saying 'efficiency' - that would be ~400 job losses. Sector wide, that would extrapolate to ruinous harm in the one well-functioning public service: tens of thousands of redundancies. 2/2
