Afternoon @mrjamesob.bsky.social the media all seem to have developed collective amnesia over the fact the Tories released 13,325 prisoners early between 17 October 2023 and 9 September 2024 under their own scheme.

Pupils need consequences” I think we all know that .But you also cannot consequence a pupil into better behaviour. Consequences may address the behaviour but there is more to supporting pupils than consequences alone, lasting improvements come with an understanding it.

Funding largely follows identification, not need. Screen everyone and demand for assessment and top-up would surge into high-needs budgets already in deficit. Without new money, it's the same pot cut thinner. More chn named, less for each, & schools' notional SEND budgets stretched...

Most SEND isn't a condition you can screen for; it's the gap between what a child needs and what's on offer, and that shifts. A screen at 8 would label some, miss others and lengthen waits without adding provision. Better would be teachers who notice and a graduated response that acts fast.

This beautiful box dates from 18th century China. It resembles a six-petaled flower, and features a phoenix and eight symbols of Taoist immortals inlaid with turquoise. The Eight Immortals (Ba Xian) are a group of ancient heroes in Chinese mythology who fight for justice and vanquish evil.

So, just to be clear, Daniel Thomas was: 1- Carrying a knife contrary to section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 2- Used that knife to commit criminal damage (Criminal Damage act 1971) 3- likely engaged in the criminal offense of endangering Life at Sea (Merchant Shipping Act 1995)

Why is it that Ofsted just can’t seem to get it right? Well, IMO, Ofsted seem to believe that “weighing the pig” making judgements and criticising, using a one sized fits all model actually works. When “feeding the pig” is what helps schools grow and develop.

The UK government ceasing automatically to support almost anything the government of Israel does is a major shift. The next step should be to rescind the ban on #PalestineAction, to stop treating protesters as terrorists, and to acknowledge that those seeking to disrupt a genocide may have a point.

Similar for general SEN support (25% non participation vs 11) & free school meals (40 vs 24). So perhaps those who might score low are less likely to be included in results, making those results less reliable. The report itself acknowledges this & advises caution re comparisons over time or place.

Amidst all the talk of England’s #PISA achievements, shouldn’t we also be talking about the representativeness of the population sample? CYP with EHCPs were significantly under represented (non participation rate 7% vs expected rate 1.4%).

There’s been some commentary suggesting that the recent UK PISA results are a clear policy success that ministers should be more outspoken about. @suecowley.bsky.social takes a different view, asking: at what price has this success come? A very interesting thread to put Pisa into context.

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.
