Gillian had a brilliant time celebrating Foster Care Fortnight and welcoming so many amazing foster carers to 10 Downing Street recently.

Thank you for everything you do!

It was great for Gillian to chat childcare, teachers, special educational needs and much more with mumsnet.com founder Justine Roberts.

Gillian thanks Mumsnet for having her!

Good luck to everyone starting their GCSEs and A levels today – and of course to those continuing with exams and assessments for VTQs and T Levels.

Students have worked really hard for this, and the next few weeks provide them with a real opportunity to show what they can do!

Gillian had a busy past few days in Japan for the G7 Education Ministers' Meeting. 

So many of us across the world face similar challenges in education. That's why events like these, and last week's World Education Forum, are so important.

It was a real pleasure for Gillian to open this year's World Education Forum today and to speak with so many other leaders from across the education space.

A lovely way for school children to mark the Coronation.
