Can 2025 bring a radical rethink of how we consider SEND? What would it take to create a truly fair education system? It needs to go beyond ‘brave school leaders’, argues Margaret Mulholland

‘It’s not the children who need fixing, it’s our system’: @mmulholland.bsky.social explains why it is time for policymakers to ‘step up’ and design for equitable outcomes for all pupils

This was an interesting way to be woken up this morning by my 12 year old. Highly recommend if you struggle to get up! ❤️

With Jack Frost & his mischief here, I had fun with Yr 3 class looking at how you put plants to bed for the winter &tuck them up, then drawing & chatting about our own bedtimes & what makes it a happy, positive, safe time for us to recharge. #BedTime #STEAM #Curriculum #PSHE #Wellbeing #EduSky #Grow

Humans Vs. Ants: The Maze YouTube video by Weizmann Institute of Science

I'm obsessed with this. Ants are fascinatingly intelligent and the way they work as a cohesive team impresses me every time I see things like this. #bugs #teamwork

This image shows a news article titled "Hero farmers helping threatened species thrive in nature-depleted England." The article highlights the RSPB's statement that reversing nature's decline relies heavily on agriculture, with 70% of the UK being farmland. Below the headline is an image of a misty countryside scene with green fields, an old stone barn, scattered trees, and two sheep grazing peacefully in the foreground. The landscape feels calm and timeless, reflecting the harmony between agriculture and nature conservation.

Farming heroes are saving wildlife! 🦋🚜

Across the UK farmers are proving that nature-friendly farming works – helping threatened species thrive while producing food.

But they need government support to make it last.

Through braced, huddled window panes,

My daughter’s friend really wanted to play Cluedo as never played it before but seen in secondary school library. I forgot how much joy & togetherness there is in a boardgame. Am reminded of importance of playing games with kids. Most uplifting hour I’ve had in weeks. Anyone fancy a game? #EduSky

Uplifted reading my son’s personal statement for his next chapter & how he’s written how used his problem solving skills & trigonometry from maths & physics to help him build obstacles for skateboarding. Brings it home the importance of self lead learning alongside traditional subjects ❤️. @EduSky

Oh my goodness- that is too adorable- that has melted me.
