They fear impossible implementation. In the final weeks of term, @educationgovuk published major guidance, launched consultations & expects implementation by 1/9. If we value leaders, we must respect their time. https://www.michaelgreeneducation.com/post/an-open-letter-to-andy-burnham-if-we-value-school-leaders-we-must-respect-their-time15 Jul 2026 06:08 +0000at://did:plc:2cwnivd3axmru62thinifjc2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqo2oefmpk2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelsgreen.bsky.social/post/3mpvvte75i224As another academic year draws towards a close, what lessons should we take into the next?
