Delighted that @RishiSunak @hmtreasury has earmarked £83 million to #CreatetheCapital - this will help 16 to 19 institutions to deal with demographic growth. Plans to #RaisetheRate in real terms something we can build on next year @hmtreasury https://t.co/6Ret13iXN9

Great to hear fulsome and entirely deserved praise from @imranahmadkhan for @CAPACOLLEGE, which makes creative and performing arts available to all. We hope @GavinWilliamson does look into providing an adequate level of funding as promised. #RaisetheRate could be a good start. https://t.co/mMERiAAfVa

Eh, are you a 6th Form colleague? I'd love you to join in a @SFCA_info get together on Zoom, hosted by me (and probably Walter the Dog). 8-9pm on Tuesday 24th Nov - a week today. There'll be a few speakers, a lot of chatting, and we'll see where it goes from there.
