Nine killed in second Turkish school shooting in two days Eight students and one teacher died in the attack, according to Interior Minister Mustafa Cifci.

A school should never be a place of fear. For the children in Türkiye, the families whose “normal” will never feel the same again, this is a stark reminder of how fragile safety can be. Every child must have the right to feel safe at school.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Why are so many disadvantaged and SEND learners excluded from the system? Why do so many YP disengage from school? We've had years of people saying curriculum and rigid approaches to behaviour are 'the answer' to solving disadvantage. It's about time we asked if they're part of the problem as well.
