Our top story English Schools rated as outstanding by ofsted will no longer be exempt from inspections, under new government plans. The department for education says that, as of last summer, almost 300 schools hadnt been assessed for more than a decade. It said the changes would give parents up to date information about their childs education and ensure standards remain high. Alexandra mackenzie reports. Its the beginning of a new school year. Time for the education secretary to unveil what he calls a raft of new measures for schools in england. High performing schools will receive funding to provide more support for ones that are struggling. Top rated schools will no longer be exempt from routine ofsted inpections. Some have not been inspected for a decade. And to turn around the most challenging schools, a new Specialist Academy trust is to be piloted. This will help those that have been underperforming for some time. This comes just after the pms announcement of millions of pounds of extra spending for primary and secondary schools in england over the next three years. The government says it will now focus on standards in education, and supporting the teaching staff. Labour says this is an embarrassing admission, but the education policies of successive tory governments have failed. And too many of its offered Solutions Just offer more of the same. Five people have been killed and many more injured after a mass shooting in the us state of texas. The suspect, a white male, was shot dead yesterday in a standoff with police. Andy moore has this report. Five killed, that is confirmed by the police chief. At first it was thought two gunmen were on the loose. Panic spread far and wide. People were evacuated from this shopping centre, including the presenter at the local tv station. There are people running through the mall, not sure why. Are we going to go back to programming . No, were going to leave and slip away, we dont know what is going on. As the gunman was finally cornered near a cinema complex, people were urged to take cover. Police said the gunman had started his shooting spree after a simple traffic stop. Several Police Officers were among the injured, and a child under two. He is a white male in his mid 30s. I dont have a positive identification on him yet. I have an idea who he is, but i wont release that information until we are absolutely positive. The Vice President said the white house was being fully briefed on the incident. The president and i and our administration remain absolutely determined to work with leaders of both parties and congress to take such steps that we can address and confront the scourge of mass atrocities in our country. There have been 140 victims of such mass atrocities so far this year. The same as in the whole of last year. The eus lead brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, says the uk has come to a moment of truth on how it will leave the european union. He again rejected Prime Minister borisjohnsons demand to remove the irish backstop, the policy intended to avoid a hard border on the island of ireland, and said he wasnt optimistic about avoiding a no deal scenario. Lets get more from our Political Correspondent susana mendonca. Michel barnier not quite as optimistic as some of the sounds we have heard coming out of downing street . Know, and Boris Johnson has been trying to put a positive spin on things, saying he feels that the eu is moving towards changing the keyissue eu is moving towards changing the key issue of the irish backstop, which is something borisjohnson doesnt want to have included in any deal with the eu, and he has talked about leaving with no deal on the sist about leaving with no deal on the 31st of october. Here we have the chief negotiator basically saying he is not going to remove the irish backstop, and essentially the irish backstop, and essentially the irish backstop within the offer the eu had given to britain, that was the maximum flexibility the eu could offer to a country outside of its club. He is also saying that he thinks a no deal brexit is probably a likely thing to happen. In terms of Boris Johnsons a likely thing to happen. In terms of borisjohnsons chances of trying to convince those conservative backbenchers to side with the opposition in terms of ringing in legislation that would force him to ask for an extension, this doesnt really help him, because those people are wanting to have some kind of conversation with the pm as to whether or not he has movement in those negotiations, and this would suggest that he hasnt. In this piece he has written the sunday telegraph, Michel Barnier talks about the two years of painstaking talks that have already gone on. If it is more likely to be no deal, both sides are preparing for it, no surprise we are having the launch of a major Advertising Campaign this week. This is the campaign we have heard a lot about. It is called get ready for brexit, run by michael gove, and it is an information source for people to find out more about what brexit might mean. It there has been so much reaction to there has been so much reaction to the plans to suspend the parliament, there will be more protest in the next few days, and parliamentarians will be trying to stop the pm from going down the road of no deal brexit. Events are taking place to mark 80 years since hitlers invasion of poland. Two days later, britain and france declared war on germany. The foreign secretary, dominic raab, willjoin more than a0 World Leaders at commemorations in warsaw today. Lets speak to our correspondent adam easton. I know commemorations have already begun, because they started at the point where the first bombing occurred. Thats right, we have had separate dawn commemorations, one in the first city that was attacked by germany, and the german president and the polish president met there. The polish president called it a war crime, and the german president said, in the polish language, that he vows to the victims of german tyranny and asks for forgiveness. The main ceremony we will be talking about earlier, where more than a0 leaders will be coming here behind me to warsaw in a few hours time, and there will be a military ceremonial changing of the guard, the laying of a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier, and addresses from mike pence and the polish and german leaders. Then they will go for a dinner at the royal castle, and the evening well and with a performance of classical music, a polish requiem, which will be performed by polish musicians and sung by a german choir. A powerful storm threatening the bahamas and south eastern coast of the us has grown to category four, and is expected to strengthen even more.

President trump has described the incoming Hurricane Dorian as extremely dangerous. The hurricane is roaring in, it could be a big one. We are hoping that it may be makes a right and goes up north, but that is about a 5 chance, it is not looking good. And its one of the biggest hurricanes weve seen in a long time, a long time, so it could be very devastating. Donald trump talking about the impending arrival of Hurricane Dorian. As weve been hearing this morning, schools rated outstanding by ofsted can go years without being inspected. In may last year there were 300 which hadnt been assessed for more than a decade. The government wants that to change now, saying parents deserve more up to date information. Lets get more on this from head teacher simon kidwell. Is this the right thing to do . Absolutely. I teach at a Primary School in cheshire, and our neighbouring school hasnt had inspection since may 2007. Tony blair was still pm when some of these schools were last inspected. And that is because at the time it was graded as being outstanding, the government said ok, you dont need to be looked at to closely. Michael gove decided that outstanding schools were exempt from routine inspection. But we have some schools that have been inspected, special schools have been inspected, and Nursery Schools have been inspected, both every four years. So making sure those schools are inspected on a regular basis will be welcomed by head teachers. Not always by teachers themselves. Just picking up on some of the twitter response. And ofsted inspection is a weaks snapshot of a school at best. It would be best to scrap ofsted, as it damages schools and communities. At the moment it is the only resource we had to makejudgements on schools. They are moving to two days, inspections focus on the leadership of the school and they dontjudge individual lessons. We know there is extra funding for schools announced over the weekend, and it will be up to ofsted to fund these. What we dont want is an overworked inspection workforce where they havent got the money to do the inspections. We must make sure that that money doesnt come from the extra money announced for school budgets. If ofsted inspections have been slimmed down anyway, are they actually fit for purpose . I am also an advisor for cheshire west, and we see that most of the inspections give accurate judgements. However, ofsted only gives a snapshot, and we would like to see ofsted looking more at supporting schools, especially those that need support. There is an announcement today that there are a00 schools that are stuck, that havent been good for almost 12 yea rs. We havent been good for almost 12 years. We would like to see ofsted focusing on those schools and using their expertise to support them. Pa rt their expertise to support them. Part of the reason was that outstanding schools were taken out of the process was because they wa nted of the process was because they wanted to focus more on the schools that needed to be brought up and improved. Thats right, that was the thinking behind it but it has gone too long, and we have seen too many outstanding schools falling behind requirements or into special measures when they have been reinspected. It is the right thing to do but it needs more money, and the money shouldnt come from the pot that was announced on friday. The money shouldnt come from the pot that was announced on fridaylj know that some schools that fell in this category were reinspected because of specific issues, but in thoseissues because of specific issues, but in those issues 80 of them had their ratings downgraded, which is a significant proportion. That is probably expected because they would have been reinspected because of a drop in performance data or a serious parent complaint. That would be expected. But i would expect most outstanding schools to remain outstanding, because i know the ones near me that our outstanding, they are good schools. Everyone knows that a change in the staffing or the head can change things. How long can it take for a school to go from outstanding to struggling . months. Is at all . So people might look at a good school and buy a house nearby, and then find 12 months down the track they are not good anymore. Yes, parents should also talk to other parents, go and look at the school, meet the head teacher. It should be the key thing about using a school because an ofsted report is outdated the day after it is written. School performance data goes up and down, soi performance data goes up and down, so i would urge parents to look at a school before they choose it, and ta ke school before they choose it, and take the ofsted report with a pinch of salt, because distilling a school down to one number doesnt work. Of salt, because distilling a school down to one number doesnt worklj think a lot of people would agree with you on that. In terms of the extra funding announced over the weekend for schools, will that for you fill the funding gap that teachers have been telling us about for so many years . It would certainly go some way to addressing the funding gap we have had since introducing real time funding, and in my school we have had to reduce the number of teaching assistants we had. Government has consistently told us they have ring fenced funding around education, but arise in pupil numbers means. Yes, arising staffing costs. In terms of the new funding, it is welcome. It. Schools falling over, because we would have schools that are facing closure because of the funds. What we dont know yet is how much of that funding will be taken with increases in pay, so until we actually look at the detail we dont know the impact it will have, which is welcome, because we have been saying for a long time we need new money from the chancellor, and we have got it. Thats a great thing. Lets see how it works out back to school this week. Backtoschool this week. Back to school on tuesday. Have you got your new pencil case a method . School on tuesday. Have you got your new pencil case a method 7|j school on tuesday. Have you got your new pencil case a method . I have had may sue to dryclean. It is you to give up your last lie in on a sunday before school goes back. Thank you very much. Heres ben with a look at this mornings weather. We both have matching ties on this morning. It is most likely got the memo. I got the e mail. Fuchsia is definitely the colour of the day. I think we will be seeing more orange and brown, because we are getting into the autumn now. The first day of meteorological autumn. Were talking about going back to school. The weather feeling more autumnal. A beautiful start for some. That is how it looked in guernsey a short time ago. We will see some sunshine through today. Also some showers and it will feel very cool throughout the day. This band of cloud and rain workers were used with yesterday. Behind that we have single and flooding in. You can see these are speckled clouds on the satellite picture, charlotte clouds heading away on this north westerly wind, which is responsible forfeeding in the rather cool the ad shower clouds. This is how we start the day. Showers getting going across northern and western parts of scotland. This is the forecast. Eastern scotland perhaps not seeing many showers at this stage. Quite a fresh start of the day. Northern ireland seeing some showers, some getting down across Northern England into the north midlands, wales, the odd showerfor the into the north midlands, wales, the odd shower for the south west. Identical many showers through the day. To start off, east anglia and the south east are largely dry. Some areas of high cloud around. Much of that were clear and then spells of sunshine. Through the day showers through scotland into Northern England, north wales, into east anglia, some showers heavy and possibly thundery. Showers towards the south west. Remember last sunday when we got to 33 degrees . This sunday more like ia 2i at best. Late in the afternoon a band of cloud and showery rain across Northern Ireland extending into Northern England, parts of scotland through the night stop elsewhere most of the showers fade. Clear spells. It stop elsewhere most of the showers fade. Clearspells. It will stop elsewhere most of the showers fade. Clear spells. It will be the coolest note we will have had for quite some time. Five degrees in aberdeen. Maybe 18 cardiff and london. Some spots in the countryside could get down to 3 ad. A chilly start to monday. Things will be changing through the day. This frontal system approaching from the north west. That will tend to thicken up the cloud. After a sunny start it will generally dont cloudy across many parts of the country. Spots of drizzle for western parts of england and wales. General rain across Northern Ireland into scotland. Eastern scotland might well get some shelter and some sunshine through the day. Temperatures tomorrow, no great shakes, 16 21. It may start to feel a little milder as the date moves on. Briefly come through the rest of the week, it stays probably medically from mid week onwards, more north westerly winds at times. Some rain at times but not all the time, some dry weather as well. But yes, you two, it will feel like autumn. Thank you very much. It is the first of september after all. That also means the return of the Andrew Marr Show on bbc one. Back at your nine oclock slot.
