Why Do We Still Compromise on Social Justice in Education? I recently travelled up to Sheffield for a #CurriculumReview discussion with The National College. It was well worth the three-hour journey. There’s something about being in the room with people who care about education and want to see change—Emma Darcy, Matt Bromley, Joe Toko, Jonathan Ferstenberg, and finally meeting Eleanor Adams in person. Referencing the Big Questions During our conversation, I referenced Becky Francis’s essay, Towards Social Justice in Education: Contradictions and Dilemmas.

New blog post- its been a while :)

Speaking Out When It Matters Most
What does it really mean to be an ally in education?

“For me, allyship is a daily practice. It’s about showing up, speaking up and speaking out when it matters most, especially when others stay silent. I wrote Be an Ally, Not a Bystander to challenge all forms of prejudice, discrimination and bullying in our school systems and to offer a practical, relational approach to change.” - Frances Akinde 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿

Only 6 per cent of Sendcos can complete their tasks in work hours The government’s SEND reforms must ensure that special educational needs coordinators get better support, say experts, as exclusive data reveals their ‘unsustainable’ workload

Just 6% of Sendcos feel able to complete their tasks during weekly working hours, according to @teachertapp.bsky.social

As the daughter of a Sendco I can attest to this - a core childhood memory to regularly see my mum working v. late into the night!
