The government has finally confirmed portfolios for new ministers appointed in Liz Truss’s first reshuffle. The previous schools and children and families briefs have been carved up and shared between new ministers Kelly Tolhurst and Jonathan Gullis. In another sign Truss plans to make good on her promise to open more grammar schools, Tolhurst’s brief includes “strategy for schools, including standards and selection”. She will also oversee exams and SEND. While Gullis will take charge of overseeing school accountability, behaviour and catch-up.
