Grenfell News and Post-Election Stories Schools, Hospitals And In the News (19 June 2017) www.nasbm.co.uk Featured news: Grenfell news and post-election stories Schools, hospitals and buildings in the UK may have to be checked for cladding similar to the type blamed for the Grenfell Tower inferno (The Daily Mail, 17 June 2017). At least five councils in London are to carry out safety inspections at similar developments. The Observer reports on how urgent requests for meetings with ministers and action to tighten inadequate fire safety rules have been refused in the years leading up to the Grenfell Tower tragedy (17 June 2017). Making the accusations, former chief fire officer Ronnie King, secretary of the all- party parliamentary group on fire safety, also said ministers had failed to insist that sprinkler systems were mandatory in the design of new schools and student accommodation in England, despite “clear recommendations” in reports commissioned by the government itself. Mr King said: "Last July the DfE issued their amended document as a final draft. Previously they said automatic fire sprinklers would be installed in all new schools except for a very few low-risk schools. They then issued revised guidance, which said that because of XYZ they are removing the requirement for sprinklers in all new schools." Schools in west London are pulling together to help pupils affected by the Grenfell Tower fire carry on with their lessons and exams (The Times, 17 June 2017). Head teachers from across the community have rallied to find space for pupils from Kensington Aldridge Academy (KAA), which is at the base of the tower block, and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary on nearby Treadgold Street. Ark Burlington Danes Academy in Shepherd's Bush and Sion Manning Secondary School will be taking on pupils. Counsellors will also be on hand to help pupils. Elsewhere, a teacher at KAA has raised £1.1m through an online appeal. Haley Yearwood, a director of learning at the school, said the money would be given to families who lived in the block. Children at a school affected by the Grenfell Tower fire are being given emotional support (The Times, 18 June 2017). Dominic Smith, headmaster of Ark Brunel Primary Academy in North Kensington, said: "The advice we've been given is not to pre-empt children's responses and to reassure them it's OK to cry or not to cry – all emotions are valid." Mr Smith added that teachers at the school were also trying to answer questions about the tragedy directly. "You have to be totally honest with children, however young, in language that they can understand. It's important that children have the chance to talk about the things that are significant to them,” he added. Pupils at other west London schools will be invited to pay £1 to wear green clothes this Friday to raise money for victims of the fire, as part of the #greenforgrenfell social media appeal. A schoolgirl who fled the 13th floor of Grenfell Tower managed to grab her revision notes and sat her chemistry GCSE the same morning (The Guardian, 15 June 2017). Ines Alves, 16, was adamant she would take the exam after escaping the fire that engulfed the West London tower block, despite not having slept and her family losing all their possessions. Ines wore jeans and a top, the same clothes in which she had escaped the blaze, as she sat the test at Sacred Heart High School, in Hammersmith. "Considering what had happened I think the exam went OK," she said. Meanwhile, A-level student Rory Walsh, 18, who lives near the tower, worked through the night helping residents before going to take his English exam. Rory, a student at Richmond College in West London, said: “I got extra time for the exam but I didn't use it, I just came straight back to help out.” It is understood that the Prime Minister’s plans to allow the creation of new grammar schools will not make it into the Queen’s Speech (The Daily Mail, 12 June 2017). Plans to replace free school meals with free breakfasts will also be scrapped. Furthermore, proposals to abolish the cap on admissions to faith schools will also be dropped, along with plans to force private schools to do more to help underprivileged pupils. The changes come as the election result means Theresa May lacks the numbers in Parliament to force through the policies. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and Henry Dimbleby, co-author of the David Cameron-backed School Food Plan, have called on Mrs May to formally announce the scrapping of the breakfast plan. Ministers are now considering “all the options” on increasing school funding, according to sources close to the Department for Education (The TES, 13 June 2017). They have also revealed that Justine Greening had always wanted the Conservative election manifesto to include a promise to protect real-terms per pupil school funding. The Independent profiles Justine Greening following her reappointment as Education Secretary, highlighting activity in her first year in the role (12 June 2017). The paper says she has a good relationship with unions, despite being heckled at an ASCL conference. Russell Hobby of the NAHT has welcomed Ms Greening’s reappointment, saying she has “shown a willingness to engage with the profession on important issues.” He adds that Ms Greening’s biggest challenge now lies in matters related to school funding, offering that she will “need to argue vigorously for the needs of schools with her cabinet colleagues.” Several papers look at new Environment Secretary Michael Gove’s parliamentary track record, with many referencing his time as Education Secretary (Daily Mirror and various outlets, 12 June 2017). They highlight claims that Mr Gove tried to take climate change off the geography curriculum, an accusation he denies. It is also noted that he pushed through unpopular curriculum reforms, axed the Building Schools for the Future programme and had “a run-in” with Theresa May over who was responsible for the Trojan horse scandal while she was Home Secretary. Leading Support Services National education policy (see Finance section for education funding policy news) The Guardian calls for policies that will increase public service staff numbers, noting that Government teacher training targets for secondary school teachers have been missed for five years in a row (13 June 2017). The paper calls for pay growth, a removal of public service jobs from the immigration cap and increased funding for training. Multi-academy trusts risk losing their connections with the communities they serve as they grow, school governors have warned Justine Greening (The TES, 16 June 2017). In a letter sent to the education secretary today, Emma Knights, chief executive of the National Governance Association, called for the Department for Education to broaden the members who control multi-academy trusts (MATs). A head has won high-profile support after his status as a National Leader of Education was threatened over Sats results that the government has effectively admitted are not secure (The TES, 15 June 2017). Leaders from Ofsted and the National Association of Head Teachers have come to the aid of Brian Walton, head of Brookside Academy in Street, Somerset. The idea of stripping Mr Walton of his support role on the basis of 2016 Sats data is "ridiculous", tweeted Russell Hobby, general secretary of the NAHT, who said he would raise the matter with the Department for Education. The Scottish government has set out "sweeping new powers" for schools. The reforms will see head teachers take responsibility for closing the attainment gap, choosing school staff and management structure, and deciding curriculum content (BBC News, 15 June 2017). They also aim to give schools more direct control over funding, with a consultation on fair funding launched. "Regional improvement collaboratives" will be established to "pool and strengthen resources". Education Scotland will have a "renewed focus on professional learning and leadership" along with "strengthened inspection functions". The Scottish Education Secretary has since rejected claims that plans to shift power to headteachers undermines the role of councils (The Sunday Herald, 17 June 2017). John Swinney also refused accusations that establishing regional bodies to support schools instead of the current 32 local authorities amounted to centralisation. Council umbrella body Cosla said the role of local authorities in running schools was effectively over. Mr Swinney responded: "I don't accept that. Local authorities remain the education authorities,” adding that the new structures should be seen as collaborative bodies in which council professionals and groups like Education Scotland could work together. Norway has proposed a burka ban in schools, with Education Minister Torbjorn Roe Isaksen saying such items hinder communication between pupils and teachers (BBC News, 12 June 2017). The ban targets the niqab, burqas, balaclavas and masks, and would apply in nurseries, schools and universities. Local level school leadership and policy The King Edward VI Foundation in Birmingham – which runs grammars and independent schools in the city – has formed a multi-academy trust (MAT) to allow it to take over comprehensives (The TES, 16 June 2017). Heath Monk, executive director of the 450-year-old foundation, told TES that the MAT is up and running and that schools will join from September. An academy group of schools that introduced shorter summer holidays has abandoned the idea (BBC News, 16 June 2017). Changing term dates was meant to help staff, reduce stress levels and allow families to book cheaper holidays. However Sue Wilson, executive head of Tall Oaks Academy Trust in Gainsborough, said the schools in its group had not reported any significant improvement. She said the changes had instead given rise to a number of problems, including a small increase in absences at the three schools, as holiday planning became difficult for parents with children at other schools.
