“That’s not my education secretary,” said the little mouse. “Her priorities are too sponsored.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her solutions are too Instagrammable.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her SEND reforms are too invisible.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her meetings contain too many influencers and not enough teachers.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her statistics are too bendy.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her empathy feels mass-produced.”

The little mouse went to the Department for Education.

There were ring lights.
There were media teams.
There was a camera crew following Gemma Collins down the corridor.

“Where are the parents?” asked the mouse.

“Busy filling in tribunal paperwork,” sighed the receptionist.

“Where are the teachers?” asked the mouse.

“Covering three classes and eating lunch over a photocopier,” whispered the office assistant.

“And where is the funding?” squeaked the mouse.

Everyone laughed for a very long time.

Then Gemma Collins arrived holding a branded tote bag and talking about “raising awareness.”

“Is this helping SEND families?” asked the mouse.

“No,” said the parents.
“No,” said the schools.
“No,” said the teaching assistants buying glue sticks with their own money.

But the cameras loved it.

“That’s definitely not my education secretary,” said the little mouse.

Trying to get your child to form letters correctly?
If so these are for you. Helen and I are reception teachers with over 50 years between us.
We couldn’t find what we needed so made our own to support children so they don’t have to unlearn incorrect letter formation later.
Last year we won product of the year for them.
