With a long career in education and now with two grandchildren to love and worry about, I feel passionately that we all need a say in what is happening to education at the moment. I was inspired to see Debra Kidd talk on Channel 4 about the current proposed changes which will impact on our little ones and their teachers. She has written about it here:

I hope that some of you will feel strongly enough to add your names to the petition. Don't worry about the box asking for your education title. Just put 'Grandparent' in there.
We all need to be heard so that our children have the chance to be creative, happy and confident.
