Don't mind having a working weekend when you get to spend it at the @NCMME being part of the "History and Legacy of the 1984/5 Miners’ Strike Symposium". Thanks @ProfGildart for organising the day, lots to think about for future research 🤔 ✊ ncm.org.uk/whats-on/history-…

There is still plenty of time to get booked onto our event at the National Coal Mining Museum on Saturday... here's a sneak preview of the events for the day 👀

Anyone that knows me knows how much I love Barnsley so it's been a pleasure to be at @barnsleycollege today with @ellibrickwood13 delivering an Outreach session on the suite of Education degrees at @HuddersfieldUni (plus VIP parking...big thanks to BC for having us).

There's countless interviews with Arthur Scargill centered around the miners strike but probably not as many leading up to 1984.
The latest episode of the @BarnsleyMuseums podcast was recorded by John Kelly (founder of @LamproomMTC) in 1983.
Our podcast Barnsley Museums Natters is reflecting on 40 years since the miners' strike. The latest episode is an interview with Arthur Scargill recorded in 1983 before the year long strike started.

in case you were still in any doubt about the deficit perspectives designed into what Ofsted think about working-class families, then this report includes the following line:
"For children with fewer opportunities and experiences in their home lives, there is little to tell"
😶
We’ve published a new report looking at how schools support children to develop the knowledge and skills they need by the end of key stage 1.
The report sets out some recommendations for schools to ensure all children build this foundational knowledge: ow.ly/ot9a50TGuIo
