I&8217;m just learning how to use Twitter, one of those new-fangled social networking sites, and boy, it lets you know some odd things. Put very simply, you sign up to &8220;follow&8221; the Twitterings (and that&8217;s often a very apt description) of people or organisations that interest you. And then you get all sorts of stuff coming your way. Perhaps unsurprisingly, politicians and government departments are very keen on using this new method of making us feel in the loop. So....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=191Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:27:19 GMT20090930062719Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:27:19 GMT20090930062719Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:17:40 GMT20091026051740Postal workers permitting, NAHT and NUT members will be getting an important document over the next few days which just might have some far-reaching consequences. You&8217;ll probably know it&8217;s about the possibility of taking action over the KS2 tests: would you like to see them abolished; would you be willing not to administer the tests next summer; and would you like to see their phased abolition?

You&8217;re all busy doing the stuff school leaders do in the thick of the autumn term, with perhaps more than one eye on Rose review curriculum changes, or considering how to answer the indicative poll on a possible boycott of next summer&8217;s tests. And the politicians, mercifully, have gone all quiet since Ed Balls&8217;s foray into sex ed last week. Though that was....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=209Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:50:44 GMT20091110115044Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:50:44 GMT20091110115044Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:50:44 GMT20091110115044You can often learn a bit more about Government policy by the audience they&8217;ve chosen to tell about it. We&8217;ve had an interesting example this weekend, where Ed Balls got into bed with the Sunday Telegraph &8211; probably not, one would suspect, his newspaper of choice. The Telegraph was happy to accept (and edit) Mr Balls&8217; honeyed words about how he plans to chastise local authorities which have failed to get improvement plans sorted in 50 underperforming....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=223Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:56:01 GMT20091116115601Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:56:01 GMT20091116115601Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:56:01 GMT20091116115601Howling wind, hammering rain, more floods possibly on the way&8230; and in Cumbria school heads are calmly opening up for business. Every workplace in the area is going to be suffering from many of the same logistical problems &8211; but it&8217;s different for schools, where the role is to provide normality for upset or even traumatised children and their families, and work around the difficulties faced by staff.

I can&8217;t now remember his name, but I do remember his central message, which is that people always tell the truth &8211; somehow.

Not many teachers, according to new research. The National College found that just nine per cent of teachers fancied trying for headship within the next three years. Even among middle leaders, currently being groomed for headship, only 40 per cent actually wanted the job. You could pick holes in the questions &8211; if teachers wanted to become heads in the next three years, for instance, they should probably already be a middle leader or on the NPQH course.....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=232Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:21:41 GMT20091207042141Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:21:41 GMT20091207042141Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:21:41 GMT20091207042141Excellent news that some sense has been seen in the vetting and barring mess, and that some of the loonier regulations have been loudly amended.

That&8217;ll be a test of your organisational abilities&8230; and you&8217;ll be experiencing exactly how other organisations deal with their customers at a time of stress.

I delayed getting down to writing this week, as a series of excitable news reports on Sunday indicated that we were going to get a big educational announcement on Monday. One particularly favoured organisation was able to reveal, breathlessly, that this would include a promise to teach Mandarin Chinese to tots as young as seven. Phew! So I waited patiently. And because I missed breakfast....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=241Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:32:24 GMT20100105123224Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:32:24 GMT20100105123224Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:32:24 GMT20100105123224Sorry, but I want to talk about snow today. I know everyone in the media and politics has been banging on about school closures and snow and &8216;elf n safety for the best part of a week now, but it seems to me that they&8217;re all skating around on the surface. As usual, you might say. So, I&8217;ve got a few observations to make. The first is that I wonder about the precise role being played by PFI contracts in the problems schools have faced with clearing snow.

This week&8217;s is certainly eye-catching&8230; but the more I think about it, the more it seems to unravel. The basic premise is simple: the Conservatives are promising that they would entirely prevent graduates bearing anything less than a 2:2 degree from PGCE courses.

Is it striking fear into the Government? Well, the most recent announcement from the Department for Cushions and Soft Furnishings since is the easily misread Tweet, &8220;Ed Balls launches sex & relationship guidance.&8221; (My first thought: ugh.

Ed Balls was notable by his absence this morning.

On the one hand&8230; a large and well-attended conference at the National College ten days ago was considering how schools were going to cope with a small 0.7 per cent budget rise.

Make sure you are sitting down and your mouth is empty. Put any hot drinks well away from you. Now open up, and on page 28 there&8217;s Chris Woodhead talking about Ofsted and about how maybe it should be abolished if it can&8217;t be reformed. Yes, I am talking about that Chris Woodhead, the man under whom Ofsted terrified an entire profession.

But, once the worries subsided, it was a fascinating experience.

You know that every single hospital can&8217;t be like that,....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=259Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:09:26 GMT20100222110926Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:09:26 GMT20100222110926Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:09:26 GMT20100222110926I remember the phone call vividly. On the other end of the line was the late, great, Ted Wragg, the much-loved professor of education at Exeter who took great pleasure in taking a rise out of authority (particularly Ofsted and the Department of Education) whenever he felt it necessary. In other words, pretty often. Ted was never less than whole-hearted in any conversation, but he was particularly aerated on this occasion. &8220;Falling rolls!&8221; he said. &8220;Huge....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=260Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:26:51 GMT20100301112651Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:26:51 GMT20100301112651Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:26:51 GMT20100301112651Interesting to read the comments of new children&8217;s commissioner Maggie Atkinson in the Sunday Times yesterday. Until very recently a director of children&8217;s services, Ms Atkinson had made a chat with some local teenagers one of her final acts before moving to her new job. What did they tell her? That they had too much work to do. From this, she concluded that 8 GCSEs might be a better number for most teenagers to be taking than 10 or 12, taking off the pressure a....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=262Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:12:54 GMT20100308101254Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:12:54 GMT20100308101254Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:12:54 GMT20100308101254You know that phrase about there being an elephant in the room, which everyone is politely ignoring? Well, I can see one now, and it&8217;s not even pink and floating. Rather it&8217;s grey, very large, and faintly terrifying. My particular elephant is financial, and more particularly what any incoming government is going to have to do to balance the country&8217;s books this summer. I know there have been various political promises that education and health will be....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=269Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:23:59 GMT20100322012359Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:23:59 GMT20100322012359Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:23:59 GMT20100322012359I got thinking about school policies this week, for unashamedly personal reasons. Middle daughter will start secondary school in September, and I&8217;d dutifully sent back the enrolment form giving contact and medical details, and so on.

First it was the snow, the school closures and all the sniping about school closures (and in some cases, school openings) from people with an entirely different set of priorities and pressures.

So I wasn&8217;t terribly surprised by this week&8217;s story in the TES about a couple of advanced skills teachers who fear they&8217;re going to lose their jobs as part of a money-saving exercise, and that this may be part of a bigger picture.

The weekend&8217;s NAHT conference told the story of heads chucked on to the scrapheap because of a single Ofsted report, of heads with only 18 months&8217; life expectancy if they are still in the job at 60, and of children who introduce themselves by SATs level.

Last time round, when the then Conservative government invented grant-maintained schools, many secondaries jumped at the chance, not least because of the extra cash on offer. As the financial inducements dried up, so did the numbers of new schools wanting to join in the party.

We&8217;ve had the Budget, after weeks of warning that we we&8217;re all doomed. And while we know the household stuff, many of the big ticket items are still sitting in the shadows. The Treasury is warning that the only departments which will be ring-fenced come the spending review announcements in the autumn will be health and international development. Education,....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=327Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:26:01 GMT20100622112601Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:26:01 GMT20100622112601Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:27:17 GMT20100622112717Well, I&8217;ve looked at the list. Have you? It&8217;s the one that&8217;s tucked away behind several different links on the DfE website and tells you the names of the schools which have &8220;expressed an interest&8221; in going for academy status. I&8217;d guess many school leaders have gone through the list to see what neighbouring schools and colleagues are up to, in the same way that people used to read the TES jobs pages to work out who was moving on. My perusal was....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=330Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:35:51 GMT20100628023551Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:35:51 GMT20100628023551Tue, 29 Jun 2010 16:25:41 GMT20100629042541Never has one man apologised so much in such a short space of time. Michael Gove makes Tiger Woods look like an amateur. Women? Pah! If you&8217;re going to apologise, clearly the best work is to be done when you&8217;ve somehow produced a list of schools explaining which are going to be able to get the builders in&8230; which turns out to be wrong. Exactly how they managed to do that was not explained, though someone who&8217;s been in the Department for....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=337Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:27:55 GMT20100708122755Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:27:55 GMT20100708122755Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:27:55 GMT20100708122755I had my very own Dutch moment this weekend, and it didn&8217;t involve football. I found myself sitting next to a headteacher from Amsterdam at a conference dinner on Saturday night, and had one of those unexpected encounters when you learn a lot more than anticipated. (I have to declare an interest here: it was the annual conference of the British Educational Leadership, Management and Administration Society (BELMAS), whose members &8211; practising heads and....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=341Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:01:28 GMT20100712020128Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:01:28 GMT20100712020128Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:01:28 GMT20100712020128Today, it was going to be all about the Academies Bill, and I&8217;ve been spending a lot of time mugging up on Hansard accounts of the debate as the week has worn on. But despite the Government&8217;s desperation to get the thing onto the statute books and schools away from their local authorities, the parliamentary action doesn&8217;t conclude till Monday. So let&8217;s do it then instead. Which brings me to a much happier subject, and one I have a feeling that most Government....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=345Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:57:46 GMT20100723025746Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:57:46 GMT20100723025746Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:57:46 GMT20100723025746During the past week &8211; and especially the past few hours &8211; I&8217;ve read huge chunks of the debates on the Government&8217;s academy bill. I&8217;ve done so partly to keep myself up-to-date on education matters, and partly so you don&8217;t have to do the same. To nobody&8217;s surprise, the Bill has passed with very few changes. Not only is it a flagship bit of legislation (although certainly not part of the LibDem manifesto), shoved rudely through Parliament on an....http://www.naht.org.uk/welcome/resources/blogs/susan-young/?blogpost=347Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:30:43 GMT20100728123043Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:30:43 GMT20100728123043Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:31:48 GMT20100728123148
