We have a pupil this year making an Oxford interview for Classics. Suffice to say our state school in the NE of Scotland doesn't get many pupils who do this. In fact we haven't had any Oxbridge pupils for any subject for 5+ years. Anyhoo we're very aware about how disadvantaged..
Do you think kids in London are smarter than kids in the North East (where I’m from)? No. Well the gap in top GCSE grades between London (28% top grades) and the NE (17%) is shocking then. We’re simply not providing enough support to close the attainment gap between richer and…

🔎 How do highly able pupils who receive Free School Meals perform in comparison to their more advantaged peers throughout school? Our research shows that gaps between pupils are baked in from an early age, later accelerating in secondary school 👇 buff.ly/46vzh4M
Helping make sense of this chess obsession: Half the funding goes directly to English Chess Federation (ECF), whose president is right-wing journalist & son of former conservative minister, Dominic Lawson. ECF also sponsored by Sunak's Winchester College. gov.uk/government/new…
In case you're wondering why there's distrust among Black, Indigenous & other PoC when it comes to the medical field, here is another reason why. Those poor Punjabi women 😔. BIPOC have been abused & betrayed in the name of western medical advancement for centuries.
You can’t believe how kind the British are. Every morning, a van pulls up outside your house in Coventry. A friendly man brings you a freshly-baked flatbread to eat. It’s just for you,not anyone else in your family. Every afternoon he comes back to make sure you’ve eaten it. 1/

If you're going to defend the charitable status of private schools because of bursaries and scholarships given to the disadvantaged, remember only 4% of private school turnover is devoted to bursaries, and only 1% of private school pupils get to go for free. 1/2

When our newspapers give column inches to the parents of children at private schools bemoaning how hard it is to find a ‘good state school’ it’s also a reminder of just how socially exclusive journalism is as a profession.
Just a quick reminder that we are fighting fascism and nice is not our fucking priority.
On being ‘nice’. (excerpts from p281-2: amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/057136…)

This is not Section 28. It's worse. Section 28 didn't mandate that parents be informed if a 16 year old said they were gay. It didn't say that straight students' well-being had to be considered in a school's decision to 'allow' students to be LGB. It didn't outlaw my trousers
