Ammanford school stabbing: Knife exclusions 'too simple' - Estyn chief The Welsh education inspectorate's Owen Evans says a more nuanced approach is needed.

Always look for the why, get curious not cross. Every member of a school community deserves to feel safe in school. It’s such a complex issue and not one schools can be expected to tackle in isolation

Great news. Congratulations to Baroness Shriti Vadera. Lots to build on as the creative industries are disproportionately disadvantaged at times of austerity.

Adam Vasco on LinkedIn: Primary school pupil suspensions in England double in a decade Square Pegs….The Rising Tide of Suspensions The doubling of primary school pupil suspensions in England over the last decade is shocking but, sadly, not…

The sector needs to stop, listen, and engage… forcing chn into schools that cannot support their needs, or worse, place them in a constant state of stress, is immoral. We are punishing chn and families for struggling within a system that was not built for them.

Don’t forget to trust your instincts, tune into individual needs and go with the interests of the learners too. You’ll smash it, I’ve no doubt x

‘Happiness recession’: UK 15-year-olds at bottom of European satisfaction league Quarter of British teenagers in age group report low life satisfaction, compared with 7% of their Dutch peers

Not new news to those involved in education/CYP health & wellbeing, but a sobering reminder of the task ahead. Has to be a multi agency approach - education alone shouldn’t be asked to solve all society’s ills. But it should be inclusive and adaptable.
