No, Minster.

Top work. Keep it up! Sam Freedman

Especially since grades are so unreliable. Did you know that, for every 10 students taking 8 GCSEs, only 1 gets 8 right grades, and 9 have at least 1 wrong grade? Unreliable grades do great damage. youtube.com/watch?v=eaS6yP… canburypress.com/blogs/news/the… Rethinking Assessment Rescue Our Schools

Good to see: a proper discussion on what effect removing tax breaks would have on private schools. We'll be there. Stephen Morgan MP Bridget Phillipson

Wise words.

Year 6 Sats students: this lovely film is for you. The sooner we get rid of SATs and all the other pointless - and very expensive - high stakes tests in primary, the better. More Than A Score Stephen Morgan MP @EmmaHardyMP

Is the appeals process for GCSE, AS and A level grades fair? I don't think so. Thank you, SecEd, for publishing this blog.

Who'd have thought it? Curious minds learn more - especially those from disadvantaged homes.

New Institute for Fiscal Studies NHH Norwegian School of Economics & University of York research suggests mixing with better educated families improves the life chances of lower income children Should this lead us away from a two-tiered education system in which wealthier children can be educated separately? ifs.org.uk/news/mixing-be…

Recent data paints a concerning picture, with more children than ever missing out on their education. We're working with Public First to conduct essential research into the impacts of geography & disadvantage on attendance, prioritising the perspectives of young people & parents.

❓🤔What is oracy? And what does 'good oracy' mean? With oracy in the news recently, we’ve been asked this question a lot...so we’ve created a little thread to distill the key ideas and get you up to scratch on all things oracy!🧵

Happy to contribute a review of the brilliant Square Pegs.

Totally agree. Change is long overdue.

Let's hope it happens. You can't challenge the 'class ceiling' without tackling selection.

Spot on, Geoff, as usual.

Time for compassion in education. Enough relentless sorting of sheep from goats.

An excellent bit of digging, this. Shows just how little private schools do for a massively underfunded state sector. If they want to hang on to their charitable status they need to rethink their relationship with local schools so they genuinely make a difference. Nicola Woolcock

Can we please get over the selection obsession now, and commit to educating everyone together?
