Very much worth 10 minutes of your time to listen to the ever sound musings of @realgeoffbarton.bsky.social, with a run down of 10 things the Oracy Education Commission have learnt since their launch. The jingles too - chef’s kiss. Complex issues but not impossible. open.spotify.com/episode/3ZDd...

Excited to be publishing a major piece of teacher, parent and student opinion research on the ever-challenging subject of exclusions.
