What’s fluency and why is it important? Should you use extracts or full texts? How do you approach a class discussion about a book? Hear @suchmo83.bsky.social’s wise insights on these questions and many more, and share with anyone who cares about getting kids reading. youtu.be/DyrGjl-U2Xc?...

Well done to Schools Week for digging in to what might look like a technical issue, but in reality will be what makes this framework fall apart.

Schools Week have devised a quiz! Higher or Lower! Can you spot which statement in the Ofsted framework is for the higher grade?! schoolsweek.co.uk/ofsted-quiz-...

Ofsted quiz: Can you spot a ‘strong’ rating from a ‘secure’ one?

Ofsted's proposed 'toolkits' have been criticised as being too unclear - but do they make sense?

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday. Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it. >>

At Reach Schools, we believe in the power of practice and the importance of habits. Habits are hard to break and arguably harder to build.

Huge shout out to Louis who, in the midst of opening a brand new school, still found the time to come and speak to our 2025 cohort of trainee teachers. I’ve been luck enough to pop into a few lessons at RAHP and what they’ve already created is pretty special! @louiseverett.bsky.social

☀️In just a few days, many teachers will be starting in new schools. I wrote this blog in 2019 after starting at my third school. A fresh start is exciting but can be tricky. So what’s the secret to success? 🚨Spoiler alert: building great relationships. educatingholmes.weebly.com/blog/learnin...

We romanticise much in education, including choice. The idea that curriculum could be personalised based on learners' preferences is one example. Are 14 yr old really the best people to make edu choices that will affect their entire future? Keep a broad, rich, general education right through to 18
