Toilet access: When you need to go, sometimes you need to go quickly. No time, to wait for an escort, especially when there is no guarantee of their rapid arrival. onthewight.com/letter-schools… @IWNEU

‘Government to crackdown on bad behaviour and boost attendance’ – yesterday’s DfE press and education secretary’s news interview felt underwhelming. Students are more than just a national statistic. onthewight.com/letter-governm… @IWNEU

Man’s inhumanity to man. History shows us, expecting international democracy to work or protesting against what powerful countries, business and leaders want is unlikely to make progress. But it shouldn't stop humanity from protesting. onthewight.com/letter-starvat… @IWNEU

More pupils are being suspended, more frequently and for longer creating unintended long-term consequences. If the present Government fails to fully act, this crisis of lost learning will become the present government’s lasting legacy. onthewight.com/isle-of-wight-… @IWNEU

"After a decade of nationwide teacher shortages, the Department for Education (the Department) still does not have a grip" says PAC report. Too many young people left to shrivel, unable to fulfil their potential, due to neglect, adverse conditions, or lack of resources. @IWNEU

Too many seek freedom from the constraints of agreed rules whenever they are inconvenient. The ending of the Cold War was dramatic, peaceful, and certainly unexpected. Let's value de-escalation, not death and destruction. @IWNEU

We have seen what happens when Ofsted gets it wrong. Thus, time is needed to get all Ofsted changes right. onthewight.com/education-unio… @IWNEU

Schools Adjudicator finds process flawed. When officers and decision makers revisit school closures, as they surely will, all partners must be meaningfully involved, says NEU and UNISON. onthewight.com/neu-and-unison… @IWNEU

Recent data again shows that nearly 24 per cent of Island pupils are designated SEND. There is an urgent need for better-resourced support. onthewight.com/isle-of-wight-… @IWNEU

A £4.7 billion schools cash increase sounds a lot. However, a government paper notes: an ‘average real terms growth of 1.1 percent a year per pupil’. Yet future inflation rates are estimated at around 2 percent. onthewight.com/experts-warn-n… @IWNEU

In both Wales and London universal free school meals for all primary pupils already exists. Thus England playing catch up is hardly a historic move Prime Minister. onthewight.com/letter-expansi… @IWNEU @NoChildBehindUK

The Island experience with the latest primary schools closure clearly shows a bias towards allowing non-LA schools to evade their responsibilities. Government must act to event the playing field. onthewight.com/isle-of-wight-… @IWNEU

NEU & UNISON met West Wight MP, who agreed to talk to MP Stephen Morgan, Parliamentary Under-Secretary (DfE) to seek change to Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. If LA and non-LA schools don’t play with the same rule book, future school closures will be flawed. @IWNEU

“If we do nothing, we are writing off an entire generation. That cannot be right and we will not stand it. It is a waste of their potential and it is a waste of their futures and we will change it.” Chancellor, do the same for all pupils. They all need real support. @IWNEU

Final decision to close 5 primary schools. Only 2 to close. We can only hope, that any future consultation is felt to be more inclusive and equitable from the outset for all stakeholders. onthewight.com/schools-closur… @IWNEU
