The Hoot is great. It's a quick, short burst of information to start the week updated and ready to go.
Chair of governors
Great resource for all governors and clerks.
Chair of trustees
It's really good and extremely newsworthy, with up-to-date facts and information. I'm a real fan and have ensured other governors are made aware of this.
Chair of governors
I have found The Hoot to be an invaluable resource of updates and links to greater knowledge. I would recommend all governors to sign up and follow it.
Foundation governor
I think The Hoot is an excellent resource for governors - it points us in the right direction for clear and easy to understand information, and help in our various roles.
School governor
The Hoot is a great idea and initiative. There is so much to read and keep up-to-date with being a governor, a useful digest of topics is very helpful.
School governor
This research carried out by Edurio and The Key shines a light on an incredibly important issue: that for a school to provide a supportive environment, it needs to feel safe to the children attending. It is testament to the hard work of school staff who support their students and build caring school communities that 75% of children who took part in the research reported feeling safe in school. However, that leaves a quarter of children ā that's eight in every class of 30 - who donāt feel safe.
Dame Rachel de Souza, Childrenās Commissioner
