Chris with respect, this pandemic is far from over and schools need to focus on keeping their communities safe. @Ofstednews visits will be a distraction. Listen to @NAHTnews who speak for 32,000 school leaders.

100% @smithsmm this is what really grinds my gears! Some schools (like mine and yours) are doing the best they possibly can for children who should be in more suitable settings.

Do you have a clue of the range of SEND in some mainstream schools due to the lack of places available in special schools Do you have a clue at the range of challenges some schools are dealing with. From this blog the answer is no.

DfE: ‘two-thirds of teachers who started teaching five years ago are still teaching.’ OR a third of teachers leave teaching in their first five years! We need action from DfE on this unsustainable attrition rate. @NAHTnews
