It is deeply disappointing that @UKLabour has reneged on its pledge to pause the defunding of applied general qualifications. This decision is bad for students, bad for social mobility and bad for the economy. Full response below. #ProtectStudentChoice sfcacampaign.s3.amazonaws.co…
The first photo was taken in the week I was appointed as Head of Maths. The second is Beth's final A-Level Further Maths lesson with me, exactly 18 years after my interview. It's been an amazing privilege to have her in my class for the last two years. Thanks Beth!

Excellent read to understand the exam mess. On myth 5, this doesn't deny there has been a difference in experience of the system at sector level, merely that it's not a sinister conspiracy but a confluence of factors acting against large cohort centres. I can believe that.

Great show for 120 @S6F Maths students with @robeastaway at the YMCA this morning. Definitely more nice than nasty! Thanks for making the trip north Rob, sorry that you're heading home (slightly) poorer! #mathsmonth

Great to meet the @S6F maths crew last night after my official launch event talk for #MathsMonth for the North Yorkshire @CoastOA. I'm at @CC_Whitby this morning for more maths joy!
PS Shout out to @ALMathsRevision☺️
S6F Team Maths celebrate the start of maths month with @Bobby_Seagull ! #MathsMonth
S6F team Maths (minus the camera-shy one). We've done some maths, seen @Bobby_Seagull, been liked by @RachelRileyRR , visited a city, avoided some homework. It's been quite a day. #youdothemaths #whichwaytothenorthernline
S6F team maths waking up in London for the UKMT Senior Team Maths Challenge Final. Not sure if I can persuade them (or MathsDave) to wear the t-shirts though... #youdothemaths #brightorangebuttoobright
