The government has announced the first major update to school food standards since 2015. No more deep-frying. No more ice cream. No more fruit juice. Vegetables with every single meal. Dylan and Hayden break it all down. In this episode: 🍽️ What has actually changed -- a full before and after of the new standards, from desserts being capped at once a week to chips only being allowed oven-cooked, twice a week, as part of a meal. 🍦 Ice cream and juice gone -- the headline changes and what kids are actually going to think about them. 🥗 Veg with everything -- every main meal now requires vegetables or salad. Baked beans, pureed veg and potatoes do not count. Yes, really. 🍎 Free school meals for everyone? -- the Green Party has called for universal free meals for all primary and secondary pupils. London already funds this for primaries. Should the rest of England follow, or is targeted support better? 🏫 The postcode lottery -- the Soil Association estimates 60% of English schools were no…

Another Q&A and this batch of questions hit differently. From sick day guilt to financial reality checks, this one covers a lot of ground that will feel very familiar to anyone in primary teaching right now. In this episode: 🤒 Why sick days in teaching are genuinely impossible -- a teacher had to be convinced by her partner to stay home. She still felt like she should be working. Dylan and Hayden talk through the guilt, the cover folder question, and why this culture is so hard to shake. 📋 Being told you are moving year groups with zero consultation -- a headteacher has announced all staff are being shuffled in September.

Is that acceptable? 🏫 What secondary schools could learn from primary -- studies show children's happiness in school drops sharply at secondary transition. What is it about the way primary works that secondary could …

A teacher writes in saying she had to be talked out of going into work while ill by her own partner. Not because she wanted to be there, but because calling in sick felt worse than just turning up. Dylan and Hayden know exactly what that feels like, and this one opens a conversation about why sick days in teaching are genuinely broken. Then a headteacher has announced that all staff are being moved to different year groups in September, nobody wants it, nobody was consulted, and the latest anyone will find out where they are going is the day before the May resignation deadline. Suck it up or leave. Dylan has a view on whether that is acceptable leadership. There is also a really interesting question about why children's happiness drops so sharply between primary and secondary school, and what secondary schools could actually learn from the way primary works. The reports question will resonate with anyone in the final stretch of the year. A teacher has been told by leadership tha…
