Trick or Treat?

I imagine that that will be the cry that goes up when the spectre who haunted the corridors of the DfE for so many years, holding back the progress of English education for so long that Wales abandoned all hope and developed their own curriculum, returns to sacrifice children on the altar of assessment statistics.

What more appropriate time for an old face to appear at the portals of Sanctuary Buildings than when the number of ministerial heads that have rolled, jumped, or been pushed is now uncountable. I'm sure that you'll be relieved to see that despite closure of nurseries in Hillingdon, scrapping the school transport scheme for disabled children in Hampshire, closing nine libraries in Wirral and £80 million of budget cuts in Birmingham, the estimated hundreds of thousands in severance pay for the five iterations of the the department which have taken place in the last three months will be taken from somebody's existing budget, let's hope it's not yours!

Happy halloween.

 

The path ahead is clear
