We can’t leave Andrew Tate to educate our working-class boys The need to rethink how we support working-class boys has never been more urgent

For most young men who are eligible for Free School Meals, retaking level 2 Maths and English at college is the next step after dissapointment at GCSE.

It would be wonderful if more colleagues from the Further Education sector could become involved with Boys' Impact

Just a third of secondary school teachers are male β€” the lowest proportion since records began β€” prompting calls for a targeted recruitment campaign to bring more positive role models for boys into the classroom

Delighted to have featured in @thetimes.com article regarding the decrease in the number of male teachers entering the profession. www.thetimes.com/uk/education...

Fantastic weekend at the Pearson Teaching Awards this weekend. Honoured to have been awarded Teacher of the Year in a Secondary School!

A night that recognised the power of educators and a reminder of the impact we have on those we teach
