So many issues well identified through this Review: "the limited range of assessment approaches in KS4 in England means that some students are effectively set up to fail... That is not because they lack ability. It is because the system defines ability in ways that exclude them"

Another motion has been adopted at #NEU2025, this time on maintained nursery schools. Delegates agreed these vital settings must be saved, so they can continue to support pre-school children to get the best start in their life and education,

Another thing it would not be accurate to suggest is that teacher assessment - via CAGs and TAGs in the pandemic - is/was worse for disadv. students. Ofqual analysis of results makes this clear 1/6

With the CAR Interim Report due soon, a Monday reminder not to let anyone tell you teacher assessment (TA) is less accurate or valid than other methods. The only yr with QA and TA (2021) saw just 2% of centres asked to revisit grades & just 195 out of 5.7m grades changed 1/2 gov.uk/government/p...

The end of a superb, damning thread which highlights the literally dangerous hypocrisy on display

“OK, we’ve heard you, inspections are too blunt & high stakes. To reduce the stakes we’ll increase 4 cats. to 5, increase the judgement areas from 4 to 11 & increase monitoring if you’re in difficult circumstances” 🤦‍♂️ Worse than not fit for purpose, a danger to educator health

The Government has proposed an unfunded, 2.8% pay increase for teachers next year. Instead of continuing Conservative austerity, the Government must fully fund the above-inflation pay increases desperately needed to value, recruit and retain teachers and school leaders. neu.org.uk/latest/press...

We are putting the Government on notice. 2.8% unfunded won’t do.
