This is great, and much needed research. I worked in Surestart centres earlier in my career and still lament their loss - particularly in light of the benefits we could have seen
NEW: Sure Start generated widespread, long-lasting benefits for children in education, health, absences, and SEND. Every £1 of up-front spending on Sure Start could generate around £2 in total benefits over the long run. THREAD on our new @NuffieldFound-funded report: [1/11]

Excellent thread, which exposes issues with Ofsted approach and, in my view, the dangers of Progress 8
New: Michaela head told inspectors the school did not teach music in year nine mainly because pupils “are not really interested in the subject”. educationuncovered.co.uk/new… Long read piece on the inspection notes on Michaela Community School,which I FOI’d following its recent report.
