The Frank and Stan Chat with Sameena Choudry

In a week when there was the Coroner’s verdict on the Headteacher at Caversham Primary School, the lack of strong leadership emanating from the Covid Inquiry, a Prime Minister trying to say that Rwanda is a safe country when only a few months ago Supreme County judges determined that it wasn’t, PISA findings and a troubling UNESCO report on appalling increase in levels of child poverty in recent years it was a tough ask to find just three things to chat about. We ended up with four!

1. Ruth Perry

2. Child Poverty levels in the UK

3. Recruitment and retention of teachers and leaders

4. Why local support is often the most effective

It is an interesting and at times troubling chat.  We are fortunate to have guests like Sameena joining us.
