I haven’t yet heard a teacher say they don’t want the formula sheets - have your say!
We’re consulting on the continued use of formulae and equation sheets in 2025, 2026 and 2027.
This follows @educationgovuk’s decision that students don’t need to memorise formulae and equations for GCSE maths, physics and combined science.

Love this time of year, new planner, new classes, new ideas. Can’t wait to get back into schools and hear their ideas- I have 1 or 2 ideas to share as well 🤩 watch this space! Exciting times - wishing everyone a smooth start to the year!
A great afternoon at the HFL Science leaders network event. Science leaders from Herts & Beds Schools were treated to an interactive AI session from @Pattybee23 so many top tips to try out!
Thanks to everyone for their contributions and sharing of good ideas!
A great evening spent with over 40 science teachers from across @ChilternLT @rrothwell80 thanks for having us @Pattybee23
Our Science SKE session for 2024 culminated with a comprehensive look at supporting learners with SEND to access and excel in the secondary science curriculum. Thanks, @MapleyAnna and Becky for an informative session! @ChilternLT collaboration @HFLeducation
