Early Years education is vitally important but Early Years policy is heading in the wrong direction.
A government which wants to make a difference to the wellbeing of teachers and school leaders will need to go deeper than these announcements.
Ofsted is clinging on to its delusions. The measures it proposes in response to the senior coroner’s report do not match the scale of the problem that it inflicts on schools.
Ofsted poses a safeguarding risk to teachers and students, according to NEU poll.
This update is only a very small part of the work needed to see the reductions in workload we all aspire to.
Schools should be able to deliver these programmes free from the worry of budget constraints and increases to staff workload.

Children living in precarious or temporary accommodation face challenges on a day-to-day basis and it certainly impacts on a child’s education and learning.
The Government has once again shown its contempt for the profession. Not only is the remit letter late, but it is also completely inadequate.
