Another summary... this time Unlocking Oracy - thanks to Nikki Sullivan, Kelly Heaton, Lucy Lowde for providing a super informative and useful lens to think about this much discussed topic!
Thought-provoking, research informed - a treasure of a book!

"My husband, mum, sister, father and neighbours died of cancer. I have cancer in my head and a tumour in my spine.”
A story that is harrowing to read but that makes it all the more important that the story gets told. How forever chemicals are destroying lives. Are you next?

Sensible take. Early indicators of possible future NEET-hood are already likely to be picked up by the expansive SEND regime. If a child isn’t struggling academically and has no significant physical or mental health or behavioural problems . . .
I’m in the Guardian today explaining why a primary school NEET register is a bad idea.
“When you go to the dentist, what do you expect? That they will check your teeth, see if you need any fillings, give you some advice on oral hygiene? You probably don’t expect that they will teach your child to read, tackle youth unemployment or solve poverty.”

This is not a drill... 🚨 Calling all teachers and school staff... have you checked your Blue Light Card recently? 👀 It’s been two years since bluelightcard opened up their discounts to teachers and the wider education community, which means lots of memberships are now due

So much bad policy flows from misunderstanding (as Powell clearly does) the relationship between the purposes of a curriculum and of a qualification

I am horrified by @LucyMPowell interviews today. At least twice she said something untrue - that 30% of children must fail GCSEs because of “comparable outcomes”

Two Ways to Supercharge Your Teaching.
Both projects I’m really excited about.

Thoughts on technical education - the importance of knowledge based learning in every domain, the need for clear pathways, but without seeing this as the solution to low achievement (which needs addressing in its own right). observer.co.uk/news/opinion-…

It’s time we sorted out the press.
Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet.
The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.
ALT sorry Zack Polanski this long hot summer is not the apocalypse - it's like a gloriously long holiday in France with village green cricket thrown in for good measure

If you're back in school this week for GCSE results and thinking about how you could do mocks better next year - read on.
We have a free GCSE mock pilot in Oct-Nov.
We still have time available on Thurs to discuss.

Insights from A-levels: Maths has 115k entries & Eng Lit just 36k.
20 yrs ago they both had about 50k.
At the risk of sounding like Claude, this isn't just educational change - it's cultural change.
A generation of kids will be far more familiar with quadratics & conditional probability than Mr Rochester & Ophelia.
Bayes is destroying Defoe...
