Early years attendance sets the stage for lifelong learning and friendships. But the latest EPI data is worrying: absence is rising, espec for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Find out how to make a difference in this new EEF blog: educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/news/attenda...

Some thoughts on the importance of teaching reading, post phonics, through key stage 3 and into secondary. We shouldn’t assume that because we’ve (mostly) fixed the start of the pipeline, we’ve cracked the system. At CAM we’re training all our pupil-facing staff as teachers of reading.

@thewayofkueh.bsky.social says we need to see a joined up approach to education. It’s important for the government to set out how initiatives will connect. For example what will be the way that curriculum reform, following the review, will link up with promised SEND reforms? #EducationFest

Our own @thewayofkueh.bsky.social, writing in TES today, explains how religious education (RE) prepares young people for a complex world. We agree! At CAM Academy Trust, breadth of educational experience is one of our core principles.

Brilliant piece on the current issues around the position of RE in schools. And strong proposals for how we might sensibly address these. Also love this being framed through Yeats poetry!

What if we were able to restructure our system as an all-through model? And what benefits might we be able to realise in our current system with a bit of fresh thinking around this? Thanks to @tesmagazine.bsky.social for enabling me to share some thinking.

Developing oracy is of course a good thing, but there is a risk around starting to see it as separate from reading and writing schoolsweek.co.uk/more-oracy-m...

schoolsweek.co.uk

Why it could be risky to treat oracy as a 'fourth R'

It's a superficially appealing idea, but there are real risks of separating oracy out from wider literacy

Claire Heald @claireheald.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Important points here. And in many schools it’s not just teachers that don’t feel confident meeting SEND needs, it’s leaders and support staff too. Teacher and leader development is critical in equipping schools with the right expertise

A really interesting piece that suggests we’re at risk of seeing a drop in school standards and losing the gains that have been made. Our young people need this not to happen.

As an English teacher it has saddened me to see the decline in those taking English Lit A level. This is a really sensible and thoughtful exploration of the reasons why and what we might do about it.
