It was lovely to see primary teachers from across North Tyneside and Newcastle at our breakfast meeting.

There was dedicated chat on matters affecting primary colleagues in our area.

It can be challenging to say no. Learning to say no is a vital part of being a good teacher and maintaining your own wellbeing.

I responded to an important debate brought by Sam Rushworth MP on the attainment of boys.

We’re working hard to break the link between background and success.

I set out how our Curriculum and Assessment Review, RISE teams and more expert teachers will help us reach this goal.
