The creativity & quality of #StreetArt in #Bristol is extraordinary 😀 Bristol is a global epicenter of street art. Key areas like Stokes Croft, Nelson Street, North Street and Barton Hill showcase iconic murals, while the city hosts Europe's largest street art festival, Upfest, in Bedminster

The government doesn't know how many informal inclusion bases are in schools already, and existing formal resourced provision paid for by local authorities has not been a factor in how funding has been arranged to create more specialist places ⬇️ www.tes.com/magazine/new...

When a government gets plaudits for an ambitious promise, it's crucial to examine just how difficult it'll be to make it happen. That's exactly what @tesmagazine.bsky.social journalism seeks to do - and this is a great example from @johngroberts.bsky.social www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Great to be back in #Manchester 😎🐝💫 Adore this city #northernsoul #thesmiths #northernquarter

To help teachers in supporting the rising number of pupils with SEND, a new Inclusive Teaching Framework has been launched. @ellencph.bsky.social hears how it works

After announcing funding to help mainstream schools become more inclusive, the DfE today set out what it expects schools to spend the money on

All schools must produce an inclusion strategy by the end of the calendar year, the government has said, with £400 million per year in 'inclusive mainstream' funding to help develop and implement them https://schoolsweek.co.uk/new-inclusion-strategies-what-schools-need-to-know/

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heating - Fixing a leak can be simple and equivalent to closing a coal power station, making lack of action ‘maddening’, say analysts #climatecrisis Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'SEND expertise must extend even beyond SENCOs and senior leadership teams, because everyone has a role in inclusive practice, from the classroom to the playground and lunch hall' https://schoolsweek.co.uk/when-everyone-is-send-trained-inclusion-is-part-of-your-culture/

This is Peter Brown aka “Pete the Street” painting the ruins of #UnionCorner #GlasgowCentral #Glasgow capturing a moment in time so beautifully. Lovely guy. He had completed this in 3 hours. Really impressive & moving #Art #Glasgowfire

Before my shift last night I went to see the tragic scenes at Union Corner in #Glasgow The #FireBrigade have done a brilliant job to contain the #fire So sad to see a beautiful building with so much history since 1851 destroyed. Glaswegians having a lot to say about it as you can imagine 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You really appreciate #FireFighters far more when you see them up close doing their job. At its peak 60 of them tackled the blaze at Union Corner at #GlasgowCentral Last night you could see their exhaustion but professionalism in getting the job done. #Glasgow #Fire #Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.

The DfE has now finished its public engagement events ahead of announcing its plans for SEND reform. @johngroberts.bsky.social explains what we’ve learned about its thinking...

Children’s legal rights aren’t the problem with the SEND system – and young people will suffer if the government changes the existing legal framework, argue two experts

My latest for @tesmagazine.bsky.social: are you getting goal setting right in your classroom?

The government is rehauling England's curriculum and assessment system following Prof Becky Francis' review last year - but they're not doing it alone. We've got the full list of all the experts who will be drafting subject content for the revised curriculum: www.tes.com/magazine/new...

This November saw the arrival of the landmark curriculum and assessment review. In an exclusive interview, lead Becky Francis spoke to Tes detailing its recommendations – and the evidence underpinning them
