Bigger thinking: school policy, the wider movement, what the next two years might look like.

no. 07 A few questions about Notes
How often do you publish?

No fixed schedule. A short note when a simple phone is worth flagging or a piece of UK research is worth reading, and often nothing for weeks. Subscribe at the bottom of any page if you'd like the next one in your inbox.

Can I republish a note?

Yes, with a credit and a link back to the original. Email hello@ansa-phone.co.uk if you would like to syndicate to a school newsletter or a PTA group.

Where do the statistics come from?

Primary UK sources only: Ofcom, Parentkind, Ipsos, Department for Education, peer-reviewed work where directly relevant. The full citation rules are on /editorial-standards.

Will you write about my school or PTA group?

If your school is doing something specific worth writing about, email hello@ansa-phone.co.uk. We do not write about every school, but we read every email.
