Tonight in Gaza small children are starving to death in freezing tents and bombed out buildings beside parents who are powerless to do a thing. Tonight a few miles away in Israel kids eat in restaurants and order ice cream. Brought to you by the US government...

NEW BLOG: 12 years ago, Michael Gove "cracked down" on attendance and banned term time holidays. Again and again since then we have had "crackdowns" on attendance. The evidence says they don't work. It's time to change the approach. johncosgrove55.wordpress.com/2025/06/28/tim…

Around 400 Palestinians, including dozens of children, have been killed while trying to get humanitarian assistance. I don’t recall these incidents (including this weekend) leading many papers or news bulletins. Are we really saying a few chants from a couple of musicians is more

Hello Glastonbury…

Waiting for bus home and knock into an ex student… lovely post glasto moment… such a blessed job!

Once more I see tweets about keynote talks delivered by people citing how to run a school but haven’t actually run a school themselves. Why do people pay money for this? Credibility comes from having actually done the job not from pretending you have.

Lovely day speaking at The Festival of Education as part of Heads' Roundtable

Just one tiny observation about the new writing curriculum: this is rubbish 'All writing is ultimately made up of sentences' A lot of poetry, playwriting, scriptwriting, ads, social media posts, dialogue in novels etc is not 'ulimately made up of sentences'.

Our teachers and headteachers are at the heart of everything we do. It’s encouraging to hear about the progress we’ve made together in the last year, and I’m determined to keep working with them to deliver the changes our schools need.

Primary schools! Something useful: the new govt document on Writing goes big on handwriting. No probs, Ruth Miskin has a handwriting programme (just out) for you to buy. Next year, Govt goes big on drawing straight lines. Stand by for the Ruth Miskin Straight Lines programme.
