I’ll be at ASCL in March, running a session on Reaching Readers. We’ll dig into KS3 reading, the new Year 8 test, and practical ways to: • rebuild confidence • strengthen fluency • use story and talk to make meaning visible If you’re heading to Liverpool - hello!👋

🎭 Where did all the drama go? 🎭 We know the tragedy. Drama has quietly slipped off school timetables, in a climate where young people’s need for an expressive, eloquent voice couldn’t be more important. So this Radio 4 program is timely. Drama deserves its comeback. 🎬 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

So glad to see this piece. It's a national scandal that results in English GCSE are so unreliable that grades can go up by 2 or even 3 grades (as reported by some HoDs). Also that remarks are limited by schools' finances. A major social justice issue. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
