So much conversation with BBC Sport #Snooker on importance of mindset and proper practise. Yet how many teachers spend time on this with their students? #Exams

Examinations are an opportunity to gain recognition for previous efforts. Do students believe this?

Always great to see £ going to AMSP - Advanced Mathematics Support Programme but need to change beliefs and attitudes to learning mathematics before age 16 Bridget Phillipson Catherine McKinnell MP

Seeing all the “good luck” messages for #gcsemaths #GCSEs2025 reminds of quote attributed to Gary Player “The more I practise, the luckier I get “. Do secondary schools focus on effort and belief message throughout years 7-11. Not just at end? Bridget Phillipson

This belief needs to cross over into education . Teachers recognise that current attainment and ability is not fixed and inspire everyone in their class to grow and improve. One of #YesUCan principles is “be better today than yesterday” Bridget Phillipson Jacqui Smith

Given that“every” is used to refer to all the individual members of a set without exception. Why add “whatever their background”? An example of wasted words from Keir Starmer ‘s team and it’s from Bridget Phillipson Department for Education branwen jeffreys Would this standard pass KS2?

Great four minutes on BBC Radio 4 Today with Jim Al-Khalili discussing the magic of four.

KS2 SAT’s in England today. How many teachers and parents will have a “growth “ conversation with the children? Stressing high attainment due to their effort and not guaranteed or lower attainment can be improved. Nothing is static or fixed #LabelsAreForJamJars school data updates

True for taking examinations. Put the proper practise in and be prepared to rise to challenging questions.

Dear Wes Streeting I’m told my neighbour’s daughter who is a fully qualified experienced midwife cannot get employment in London because she is told there is a NHS England recruitment freeze. Is that true? BBC News (UK) ITV News Sky News

Agree, if “best job “ means most opportunities to influence most people. Imagine if everyone believed they could be better at something today than they were yesterday. #ECT
