Next, onto primary schools where @mrsoliviab.bsky.social is impatient for schools' optimism and perseverance to be validated

In secondaries, @calmleadership.bsky.social is grateful the sector's challenges have been acknowledged - yet they remain

In the specialist sector, the @headsroundtable.bsky.social's own Sabrina Hobbs is concerned the crisis could get worse before it gets better

We turn to AP, and although it's been the centre of attention a lot this year, Charlotte Barton points to some real challenges in making good policy on inclusion

🚧 'Many policy makers simply aren’t aware of the role AP actually plays. This needs to change'
