Its official, our school estates are in disrepair. Panorama thinks so too!Who’s watched Panorama’s ‘Britain’s Crumbling Schools’?Within the first 20 seconds we hear from a Headteacher who said “everyday I come in, there’s a new problem”.The eye-opening documentary shines a light on the challenges faced by our education system.From dilapidated buildings and outdated facilities to teachers and support staff at the end of their tether, it’s clear the structural and systematic issues within our schools are having a tangible impact on the learning experience of our children.What’s more, there seems to be a stark disparity in infrastructure between schools in different regions with funding issues and bureaucratic hurdles leading to an education landscape where some schools are left to crumble while others thrive.And it’s not just the students who are suffering.Educators are experiencing unprecedented levels of burn out and stress.With limited resources and outdated facilities, they’re finding themselves grappling with insufficient materials, inadequate technology and classroom spaces that are anything but conducive to effective education.And with a steady influx of passionate and dedicated educators needed to shape the future of education, this is extremely worrying.At RAD, we are passionate about enhancing the student and teacher experience.If you have an issue with your estate, whether it’s beyond repair or curriculum changes mean you need to update spaces, contact us for a free consultation.We can deliver a full turnkey solution, or simply plug the gaps.https://lnkd.in/egWEstBz

Always a great day marching with Liverpool John Moores University for Pride 🌈In my semester one module, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Liverpool Business School, we’ll be digging into why events like Pride are so crucial for the LGBTQ+ community. This level 6 undergraduate module, part of our HRM degree, will tackle some really important issues.We'll explore the Equality Act and its role in protecting the rights of all LGBTQ+ individuals, ensuring everyone is treated fairly and with respect. We’ll also reflect on the impact of Section 28, a piece of legislation that prohibited the "promotion" of homosexuality by local authorities and schools, and discuss its lingering effects on education and society. Understanding how the history and legacy of such laws influence today's society is vital. For instance, at work, more than a third of LGBTQ+ staff (35%) have hidden their identity for fear of discrimination. Almost one in five (18%) have experienced negative comments or conduct from colleagues because of their identity. In universities, two in five LGBTQ+ students (42%) have hidden their identity due to fear of discrimination, with more than a third of trans students (36%) facing negative comments or conduct from staff. These statistics highlight the ongoing challenges and the importance of creating environments where everyone feels they belong and matter.There’s still much work to be done to ensure that everyone feels valued. I’m excited to engage with our students on these topics and share in their passion for making a difference. 🌈#Pride #LGBTQ+ #Equality #Section28 #TransInclusion #Diversity #Inclusion #Belonging #LJMU #HRMFor more detailed statistics and information, visit Stonewall's website.Paul McEvoy Clarke FCIPD | Dr Track Dinning | Jane Eme-Power (FCIPD) | Helen Klepper | Joshi Jariwala MCIPD MA FHEA PG Cert CMBE | Prof Tony Wall ᴄᴍʙᴇ | Philip Bakstad | Adam Shore | Tunde Durowoju, CMBE | Professor Philip Vickerman | Tim Nichol

🚨 Important Update in Education! 🚨In a significant shift, Ofsted has announced the immediate scrapping of one-word judgements for schools. This change comes after growing concerns that these labels oversimplify the complex realities of school successes and performance.At Ripple Education, we believe that a school's impact goes way beyond a single word. Every educator, pupil, and community deserve a fair and nuanced assessment that truly reflects their efforts and accomplishments.📢 What are your thoughts on this change?

As Schools return back for the new academic year, OFSTED school grades have now been changed. Surely this is for the better and will make a fairer system of how schools will be judged in the future and giving more support to headteachers after the tragic death of Ruth Perry.#jdsrecruitment #education #educationrecruitment #recruitment #schools #school
