Feeling privileged to have Leila Hassan-Howe speak to my Year 9s about Black British Civil Rights campaigns in the 70s with her late partner Darcus Howe. Also feeling proud to be part of a school where we can build this into our History curriculum. @hdesilva.bsky.social @calmleadership.bsky.social

'In practice, “high standards”currently too often means “high standards for some”.’ Cogent arguments from @beckyfrancis.bsky.social exploring ‘standards’ in discussions of curriculum Everyone agrees about their importance -but what exactly are we all agreed on? schoolsweek.co.uk/what-do-we-m...

We want high standards for all young people, not some
Delivering that vision will mean having a shared understanding of what we mean when we talk about standards

Fantastic day at Leeds Learning Alliance Conference. Enjoyed talking about the need to re-imagine the system and challenge the orthodoxy of a 37 year old market-based school system that forces schools to compete. Lots of talk of reform, but let’s not tinker. Let’s re-imagine.
