Most schools are now back. How many staff and students see their school has a #YesUCan culture? @bphillipsonMP #edutwitter

Dear @bphillipsonMP How much did this promotional material cost please? Does the video impact progress of any child! Could that money be better spent on children’s education? @SkyNews @BBCNews @itvnews

Good luck to all those Year 12 resitting Foundation tier GCSE Maths this week - remember, about 10,000 students will achieve Grade 4 or better this time round, so be one of them! Make it the shortest “endless cycle” ever known

#today @BBCr4today The separate science discussion. Suggest you consider it’s a correlation effect not a causation on future outcomes. And @bphillipsonMP One off formal testing (for reading) does not enhance progress. “Weighing a pig every day doesn’t speed its weight gain”.


Dear @bphillipsonMP You seem to be proud to be going round in circles. Where is your priority: @educationgovuk or self? Education needs 100% focus. It’s not a part time activity. Your latest initiatives seem to reflect part time thinking though. #edutwitter @branwenjeffreys

Dear @Keir_Starmer @bphillipsonMP Yet another motherhood and pie message.Retaining teachers is where your priority should lie. With CPD the good ECT will be even better after 5 years and even more after 10 years. What are you doing to reduce loss to the profession? #edutwitter

Teachers change children’s lives every single day. Today, we're announcing new bursaries and scholarships to support talented people to become brilliant teachers. Inspiring the next generation and boosting opportunity across the country.



This from @MrMetacognition reminded me of the @CharteredColl article that discusses mathematics “journey” . my.chartered.college/impact_article…

Absolutely! My key points on seeing primary are around: 1) systems (and how they vary hugely in primary) 2) curriculum flow (that learning doesn't start at KS3, and a lot came before it).

#r4today Fascinating discussion on insects earlier. Why is it please that we no longer have car windscreens and headlights covered in insects? @BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson


Dear @bphillipsonMP “you can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink”. I’d suggest that non attendance by a child is a consequence of seeing no purpose as they have a lack of belief in being able to learn . Does your plan transform mindsets? @tombennett71 @BBCr4today

This back-to-school season, we're driving up attendance through our Plan for Change. Missing school impacts future earnings - but we're turning the tide with 5 million more days in the classroom last year. Find out more about how we're improving attendance:…

Agree, if “best job “ means most opportunities to influence most people. Imagine if everyone believed they could be better at something today than they were yesterday. #ECT

Good luck to everyone starting their #teaching journey. Enjoy it, the best job in the world. #ECT #ITT



Dear @wesstreeting I’m told my neighbour’s daughter who is a fully qualified experienced midwife cannot get employment in London because she is told there is a @NHSEngland recruitment freeze. Is that true? @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews


Thank you to @TheFrankSkinner on @BBCRadio2 @scott_mills for highlighting this

Congratulations to @Lionesses and a big shout out and thank you to Lucy Bronze for her “ I love maths” comment. #Lionessess #lucybronze @Bobby_Seagull @Nat_Numeracy @NCETM

True for taking examinations. Put the proper practise in and be prepared to rise to challenging questions.

The team that wins the process wins the game. In other words, successful teams work the hardest during the offseason, prepare the best during the week, and execute the best during the game.



KS2 SAT’s in England today. How many teachers and parents will have a “growth “ conversation with the children? Stressing high attainment due to their effort and not guaranteed or lower attainment can be improved. Nothing is static or fixed #LabelsAreForJamJars @jpembroke

Great four minutes on @BBCr4today with @jimalkhalili discussing the magic of four.

Number 4 - only number when spelt in English has its number of letters - four. @amolrajan @BBCr4today #r4today

Given that“every” is used to refer to all the individual members of a set without exception. Why add “whatever their background”? An example of wasted words from @Keir_Starmer ‘s team and it’s from @bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk @branwenjeffreys Would this standard pass KS2?

This week we’re celebrating #NationalSchoolSportsWeek and all the amazing things sport and physical activity can do for young people. We want every child, whatever their background, to have that chance. That’s why we’ve just confirmed £320m to help schools make it happen🏅
