Exclusive: Exam boards’ inflation-busting fee increases revealed “It’s completely unacceptable that schools and colleges have been faced with yet another rising cost that they can do nothing about," @pepediiasio tells @ramshodgson https://t.co/aTR4OKbbn5

"the average female secondary head could end up as much as £40,355 worse off than a man across the course of her headship" Excellent and important analysis here from @ellencph https://t.co/Uw1PNx7to5

The Ofsted timeline is in real trouble, and that just heightens all the other concerns with the proposals. @JohnGRoberts and @cerysturner7 have followed it every step of the way - and John's thread below shows just how difficult things now are for Sir Martyn Oliver

John Roberts @JohnGRoberts

Lots of news around today but a not so quick thread to walk through what is happening with the new Ofsted inspections ahead of what is likely to be a turbulent few months either side of the summer . . . .

"this not a panacea. The gap between what schools need and what we receive is still real... But this victory is about more than funding. It is about what it signals" Jonny Uttley for @tes https://t.co/Pw451olt0o

A very strong rebuke from @bphillipsonMP for Ofsted letting the timeline slip on when the sector will see its plans. Key passage of letter is that sector should have "a comprehensive understanding of the new arrangements before they are introduced" - can it do that before Nov?

Great appointment - this will bring exactly the oversight Ofsted needs from a figure with a huge amount of integrity and knowledge.

How much does the average pupil move across the school day? Not much - PE hours are dwindling, breaks are cut and classrooms more static. And @d_a_robson finds that's an issue far beyond just physical fitness. https://t.co/2gMB9phRLM

"I never had to go through that barrier of “people like me don’t do things like that” when it came to thinking about leadership. To me, being a leader as a woman was the most natural thing in the world." Another time for a wonderful piece from Estelle Morris
