@england.nhs.uk How is a child of 16 supposed to get a flu vaccination? We have all been urged to get one (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...) but our GP practice says he isn't eligible, his post-16 college doesn't offer one and our local pharmacies are unable to vaccinate a 16YO privately? Advice please

Just had a look on 'X'. Seems there are some very lively (and often unpleasant) education related discussions. I wonder if it is a reflection of what will be happening in classrooms as we head into November...

Such sad news...

Latest ITT statistics are somewhat positive, with most secondary subjects - especially shortage ones - recruiting better than last year. Primary down a smidge, English down due to bursary cut But majority still likely to be below target (this is last year's targets: new actuals out next month)

Number 5 is everything! An outstanding summary of what works in professional learning from the brilliant @jimknight99.bsky.social Every leader should read this: www.ascd.org/el/articles/...

Now listening to Marc Rowland, talking about the impact of low income on children and their families at the @schoolsnortheast.bsky.social Curriculum Conference. Very interesting.

Now listening to David Didau keynote at the @schoolsnortheast.bsky.social Curriculum Conference, using some interesting optical illusions to highlight how our brains interpret information depends upon how we look at it - open-mindedness and curiosity help us to see things differently.

Good to hear Pete King reminding the @schoolsnortheast.bsky.social Curriculum Conference about selecting the most useful 'nuggets' from the day

Interesting, if somewhat worrying, research about two universal mental health interventions in UK schools. I wonder how widely this has (or indeed is currently) being implemented... assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67a0f0...

The EPI’s annual report makes sobering reading, showing that disadvantaged children are even further behind their more affluent peers by the end of the Reception year (aged 5) than they were in 2019. Is there anything we can do about this? Yes there is! 1/2

Last post on 'X' seems a good place to stat - 'Freedom of speech is important. It comes with responsibilities, such as not inciting hate against others.'
