- Is our curriculum unusually overloaded? - What does a supportive accountability system look like? - Does anyone get better bang for their buck out of their SEND system? ...now, thanks to @nuffieldfoundation.org's support, there's somewhere you can go to get the answers. www.ces.partners

Given the debate on the English school curriculum and concerns about the growth in pupils with SEND, you might want to look at some interesting international comparisons from the Centre for Education Systems with @loicmnzs.bsky.social @samfr.bsky.social Lucy Crehan and Patrick Wall www.ces.partners

It is my privilege to be on the advisory board for CES and I think that these three reports - which analyse SEN, Curriculum and Accountability across 14 different education jurisdictions -are excellent. Well worth a look.

Really enjoyed visiting Falkirk today. What a lovely place (who knew?). The Kelpies are impressive - see below. Great also to meet with the heads from Falkirk- they were very welcoming and are deeply committed to public service. Thanks to John Rose and colleagues.

What's it mean to become an educator, to be formed generationally during a transition to populism? Here's what shaped me during the onset of Thatcherism & what it means for teaching, freedom of speech, & ed research today. @stevemunby.bsky.social @alisonpeacock.bsky.social @agavrielatos.bsky.social

Headteachers need to feel someone has their back, says former National College CEO @stevemunby.bsky.social – but too few feel that’s the case. In this month’s ‘How I Lead’, he reflects on his own leadership journey…

Yes. There was concern in some quarters that the appointment of a former HMCI to lead the review would lead to a whitewash but I always knew that Christine would be robust, independent and thorough.
