Duke of Edinburgh Awards have been enriching lives since 1956! That is awesome.

I saw the most glorious line ever in an Ofsted report. I had to zoom in and read it twice. It's for a fabulous local college.

Saw this suggested for schools, but reckon it fits most workplaces? Friction distracts, slows and can waste energy. #UKEd #EduSky

Lots of Trust CEOs are not overpaid. They'll probably welcome guidance that reigns in the minority of excess.

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. #Inclusion

In my experience (parent, teacher, scout leader, charity volunteer) young people are far more likely to chat honestly when walking or busy with some task rather than being interviewed at school with its constraints and behaviour expectations.

It's easy to knock people, but I do think the Children's Commissioner going hiking to chat to young people is a nice thing to do. I wonder young people offer different outlooks on Cumbrian hills than in Cumbrian classrooms? #UkEd

As the UK battles through the heatwave, we have some top tips for cooling down the classroom! ☀️ We asked our community of 10,000 teachers to give us their best advice for tackling the warmer days. Don't forget to SAVE so you can refer back to it later!

🚨 Tuesday Briefing: New SEND Code for schools and colleges The government will update the SEND Code of Practice in the next year or so? The code almost never change. Why? Check out the picture. #UkEd #SENDReform #InclusionAdvice

🚨 SEND Briefing: Inclusion Strategies Inclusion Strategies will be needed by all before 31 December 2026. They will replace the SEN information reports in England's schools. Here's a quick briefing. #UkEd #Schools #InclusionAdvice

I love stories about everyday things that we hardly notice anymore, but which quietly have a huge impact on our lives. And the often unsung heroes who designed them, like Ms Calvert 🙂

The Forest app gamifies concentration. 💫 It helps many teens with ADHD. 💫 It is free. #UKEd #TechTipFriday

Staff members in court as witnesses? It's the first time… They feel the burden of both the confidentiality and responsibility. This tells helps with prep, what to expect, and practical tips for your first time in court.

Instagram now running adverts for how they protect teens but they're all weird missteps as they boil down to "our product is very addictive and dangerous."

Tech can be good and bad. Enjoy your friends, family and the outdoors this week! #UkEd

The landmark consultation on a social media for under 16s will close on Tuesday. Calling for a ban are unions, Lib Dems, Ofsted and Conservatives.

💫 Hopefully the SEND reforms will improve outcomes for people with ADHD 💫 In the meantime, here's some ADHD role models who've reached for the stars and can inspire your ADHD youngsters. #Inclusion #EduSky

England's SEND consultation closes at midnight today. You can have your say. Link in comments 👇️ #UKEd #SEND #Inclusion

Know a teen who is on their phone too much? Ask if they've heard of the Forest app? Users set timers for time spent concentrating off line. The app then grows a tree for your forest whilst your device is idle. Mess with your phone and a tree will die... #TechTipFriday

England's schools will have to publish an inclusion strategy by December. If you write well for parents, you write well for Ofsted. Some Yorkshire schools have already been quietly changing the game. #InclusionStrategy #EduSky

This thread is great. She’s awesome

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

In recent years, indigenous children entering the care system have tended to be older, with young teens now representing the biggest age group. It is open to argument whether foster care is always the appropriate option for these young people (even though this continues to be the default option).

How well do we prepare learners with Down's syndrome for employment? Work can look like: Leeds United, policing or even science. Do we know what's possible?

This. Exactly this. 🥰

You've probably predicted Friday's TGT subject. If you think we'd overlook a National Treasure's 100th birthday you're off your head. Ask your tutees how much they think the world will have change in 100 years and why Sir David Attenborough keeps working! bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Like most other disciplines, accessibility takes practice, time, and patience. No one starts a new endeavor and is instantly excellent at it with nothing to learn. If your beginning goal is absolute perfection, you'll burn out. You'll find excuses to not try. Get started and try.

Hi. I run my local polling station for the council, and every year I post a guide to the process of voting - I've been told that it's helpful, so I'm posting it again- stuff changes with every election, so this is updated. I've been working at elections for 29 years... #Voting
