Reckon all this (not that I’ve seen said influencers myself) in part due to erosion of teacher autonomy/creative input. Reduced ownership/enjoyment = reduced commitment.
Maybe a little controversial, but… When I became a Head, I promised myself never to forget what it feels like to be in the classroom. Every decision I make is grounded in that reality. 🧵
The issue at the BBC (and I’m a supporter) is that so many of the decision-makers went to private schools. As did the news presenters/political journos (#R4Today for eg).
I almost envy the naivety shown in this article.
'Ultimately, the anti-smartphone crusade feels like a nostalgic yearning for a simpler time that never truly existed. The solution isn't a ban that relieves us of our educational duty' schoolsweek.co.uk/banning-phones…
🧵Sometimes you pull over in a lay-by and want to howl with frustration. Working in edu for 28 yrs & now with hundreds of schools every year & the stories I heard once a in a blue moon are now multiple times in a single class in almost all schools. It’s absolutely heartbreaking
Old people playing on their phones. Read this and more in today's Chartbook.
So in summary from #RachelReeves - 'We're going to hurt you but it's in your best interests.'
🕙 Britain’s first new railway clock design in 50 years was unveiled recently; created by @Design_Bridge, featuring the iconic double-arrow logo (1965) by Gerry Barney and numerals from Margaret Calvert’s Rail Alphabet 2 (2020). An instant classic, if you ask us. To mark the…

In 2000, UK top 10% incomes were no 3 in the world, but they’ve since gradually fallen and are now behind the rest of the Anglosphere and northwestern Europe; just above Spain and Italy.
Wow: those results suggest a country primed for authoritarianism
A worrying mega poll about France in Le Monde today: 81% don’t think democracy is working for them 66% think most politicians are corrupt 71% think their living standards are getting worse. 57% have trouble making ends meet 85% think France ‘needs a real leader to restore…
Another sign of shifting politics. Labour lead Reform by 11 among those who say they are very comfortable financially. But trail Reform by 16 among those who say they often struggle to make ends meet - in fact the Greens are very close to overtaking Lab for 2nd with that group
Doubt we'll ever crack the chalkfacer/manager experience nut. 'with classroom teachers more likely than senior leaders to report limited impact (46% vs 33%).' tdtrust.org/news/cpd-lands…

In June, 600 residents called for a review into inequality in Brighton & Hove. Now the Council has agreed. We welcome it - but it must ask tough questions of those in power, not just examine the lives of the poorest. Read our latest blog: classdivide.co.uk/news/its-not-o……
The removal of bursaries for English teacher trainees from 2026–27 has prompted widespread concern, with NATE warning the decision will deter talented graduates and deepen the national shortage of English teachers. nate.org.uk/2025/10/10/gov…
Environment and all that but do electric cars *have* to sound so creepy dystopian future?

Delighted to write about working class access to the media industry in @guardianopinion today! Our Elitist Britain research out today shows that almost half of columnists, commentators and top podcast hosts went to private schools. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
