School Readiness, SEND, and Faith in Schools

In this new series of the ACT Podcast, Jo and Lizzie unpack the latest education headlines. With a new survey showing that one in four children are starting school still in nappies, what does this reveal about school readiness in the early years? 
They reflect on current issues facing Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, including calls for clearer guidance on gender questioning in schools and growing concern about cancel culture in higher education. But there's also good news- a recent investigation clearing a school in Wales of allegations around 'teaching creationism' and 'inappropriate promotion of Christianity', has lead to wider questions about faith, freedom in schools, and diversity in education.
There are also updates on upcoming ACT events and resources designed to encourage Christian educators as they seek to live for Jesus within an increasingly diverse educational landscape. And finally, the episode previews the upcoming ACT Journal on the SEND crisis, with a glimpse into the insights offered from educators and specialists working at the sharp end.
