Campaigns
Official launch of Time's Up for the Test campaign, November 2023
Times up for the test
I am a founding member of the campaign Time's Up for the Test (TUFTT), to phase out England’s 163 remaining grammar schools. I make films for TUFTT and contribute to the campaign strategy.

Calling time on joyless schools
Rescue our schools
Madeleine helped set up Rescue Our Schools (RoS) in 2016, when the then government announced:
-
Major cuts to state school funding
-
The forced academisation of state schools (which it subsequently abandoned).
RoS was also a founding member of More than a Score, the campaign to end high stakes testing in primary schools.
In 2019 I won the NEU’s Fred and Anne Jarvis award for services to education. In 2024 I handed RoS over to Cherry Casey, who has refocused it on a single issue campaign to challenge toxic discipline approaches in state schools.
