Welcome to Schools Week’s live blog of education questions on January 19, 2026. The session began at around 2.30pm. This is a new function we are testing following our decision to stop posting on the social media website X. Instead of live reporting key events via our social channels, we will host these blogs on our website, making it easier for our readers to see all updates in one place. If you have feedback, please email news@schoolsweek.co.uk.
