This is a significant decision. Looking at Wigan where special and AP places are almost non-existent it is going to be hard. Great SEND resource bases in schools are a wonderful thing but that's not easy too achieve and cannot always provide the same as those separate institutions
Breaking: Leaders describe 'nightmare before Christmas' as 28 mainstream and 18 special free school projects face the axe, with 58 more specialist settings thrown into limbo after a year-long government review

Right folks,
if you want framed prints, large prints, mugs, cushions, t-shirts, phone cases, notebooks, or tote bags for Christmas, you've got until TOMORROW (Friday 12th Dec) to get your order in.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

In one short Budget intervention, thundered Labour lay preacher Gordon Brown, Rachel Reeves did more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of seven Conservative predecessors who, over 14 grim years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable kids.

Worth remembering that when you’re humming the greatest Stone Roses songs - Resurrection, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored - you are humming Mani’s bass melody. Not Squire, not Brown, but the bass line

Terrible news
