This week with Stan away Frank undertakes the chat with Susan Breckell, a regular guest on the show. The guest is Anne Morris, Founder and CEO of Yipiyap, a longstanding tutoring organisation that employs students on gap years to work with pupils in secondary schools and Colleges. Anne explains how Yipiyap has grown and how it remained positive despite some setbacks in getting accredited to the National Tutoring Programme. All is well now, and the number of students it supports is at record levels. The chat considers the devastating news of a Headteacher committing suicide following a disappointing Ofsted inspection. A wider discussion follows reflecting on the inadequate accountability measures that often result in burn out and despair for far too many senior leaders. Consideration is then given to the problems around attendance and why the ITT reforms are impacting so negatively on the most disadvantaged communities. Anne then has two issues that she believes would improve education in England.
