Resist the 'progressive' attack on phonics https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/26/resist-progressive-attack-phonics2/

Congratulations to @nadhimzahawi who will do a superb job in building on the reforms of the last ten years. I am sad not to be continuing as Schools Minister. It has been a privilege to play a part in helping improve the life chances of the next generation.

James Kirkup really understood my speech @SMFthinktank yesterday about why a knowledge rich curriculum is inclusive. (Shame about the photo!). @jameskirkup https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/should-children-be-taught-that-britain-s-history-is-glorious-or-shameful- via @spectator

Real pleasure to speak at the ⁦@SMFthinktank⁩ today about why a knowledge-rich curriculum is so important. https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/the-importance-of-a-knowledge-rich-curriculum

Supporting our teachers with the highest quality training and development is the best way we can improve pupil outcomes. As we move forward with the ITT market review, we are committed to ensuring there continues to be enough training places to meet the teacher supply need.

Ensuring children of all backgrounds develop high standards of reading is vital to helping them reach their potential. My piece in TES today sets out how our new Reading Framework shares best practice in effective ways of teaching children to read https://www.tes.com/news/nick-gibb-literacy-teaching-early-reading-well-avoids-demotivation

Thoroughly enjoyed speaking with @g20org Ministers today about tackling educational poverty globally and strengthening our international partnerships #G20

It was inspiring to hear from pupils and staff at @BolnorePrimary today how the school is taking #ClimateAction, marking six months to #COP26 #TogetherForOurPlanet

It is vital that we strengthen early education to ensure children build their vocabulary and reading skills as they move into Year 1. We have published the new statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage to be rolled out in September 2021.

Every primary school pupil should be taught Mozart https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/25/every-primary-school-pupil-should-taught-mozart/

It was good to see how excited the pupils at @GoldfinchPrmry were for their first day back at school today. I want to thank all the staff for their hard work supporting pupils at home and now back in the classroom.

#WorldBookDay2021 is a chance for young people to celebrate what they most enjoy about reading. We want all children to have the opportunity to read widely and have strengthened the curriculum to help them do so & get the most out of the endless opportunities books can offer.

Learning about the Holocaust can help pupils understand the consequences of antisemitism and other forms of extremism. I encourage schools across the country to use @HolocaustUK and @UCL_Holocaust's online resources to support pupils’ reflections on this #HolocaustMemorialDay

Yesterday I visited the vaccination centre in Bognor Regis. Thank you to the doctors, nurses and volunteers who’ve worked to make it happen. https://www.bognor.co.uk/news/politics/nick-gibb-mp-visits-vaccination-centre-bognor-regis-3110612

Congratulations to @DrPhillipsCBE for winning the Gold DfE-sponsored Lifetime Achievement @TeachingAwards. A wonderful achievement - thank you for all you do to inspire our young people. #ClassroomHeroes @westoncollege

Many congratulations to @KirstyGaythwai1 for winning the Gold DfE-sponsored Outstanding New Teacher of the Year @TeachingAwards. An incredible achievement - thank you for all you do to educate young people. #ClassroomHeroes

The last five years have flown by. We’d been together for 29 years but had no idea how much difference marriage would make to us. Thank you to everyone who made it possible. Marriage is cool.

No one should face the fear of bullying in school or elsewhere. I am supporting #antibullyingweek alongside the many charities and schools who create safe places in the classroom and online where pupils respect each other. #Oddsocksday

Schools can and should continue offering sports clubs and activities. More detail on this is here: https://dfemedia.blog.gov.uk/2020/11/06/schools-and-sport-under-new-restrictions-your-questions-answered/

It is vital that we keep our schools open to protect the education and wellbeing of this country’s children. We could not do this without the hard work and dedication of teachers & school staff, for which I want to say a huge thank you: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/statement-from-the-uk-chief-medical-officers-on-schools-and-childcare-reopening

It is more important than ever for staff and pupils to look after their wellbeing. On this #WorldMentalHealthDay staff at West Lea School share how they are supporting each other. https://teaching.blog.gov.uk/2020/10/09/why-a-whole-school-approach-to-wellbeing-and-mental-health-is-key/

A big thank you to all those working in education this #WorldTeachersDay - you’ve made a huge difference getting children back in the classroom again. https://teaching.blog.gov.uk/2020/10/05/lightbulb-moments-and-breaking-down-barriers-what-do-you-love-about-teaching/
