Really pleased to write about emerging findings from our primary careers education pilot. In short, if you inspire children about what's possible early on, you can mitigate stereotypes based on gender and class. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

What odds can I get for spurs to get relegated and win the europa league? Next season would be interesting at least …

Nightmare. Bin collection day is a Wednesday and our non-recycling is on a two week cycle. Everything is already full. Not sure I am going to make it.

I mean Day of the Jackal is epic. A vulnerable yet ruthless assassin. A tech billionaire. A brilliant MI5 agent trying to beat the system. It’s got everything. Total fanboy.

Student career readiness in 2023/24
During the 2023/24 academic year, nearly ¼ of a million students from over 1,100 secondary education institutions completed the Future Skills Questionnaire (FSQ).

On skills: By 16, students rate themselves lower on speaking, listening, leadership and teamwork than they did when they started secondary school. Lots possibly going on here but the focus on speaking skills - weaved through the curriculum could help 5/6

On career confidence: In general young people feel more career ready as they approach transition points, such as Year 11. However there is a confidence gap for those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds – and girls. The highest quality careers education can help mitigate this. 4/6

On future ambitions: YP are really interested in growth sectors - construction, digital and health (in part reflecting some excellent school outreach from those industries). More to do in other critical sectors. Our hope is this data can inform the student 'demand' side of training and courses. 3/6

The survey tool includes questions about aspirations, confidence, different qualification and pathways (apprenticeships, A-levels etc), skills and readiness for work. All together making a composite 'career readiness' score. Key findings include: 2/6

Going to try sharing some research here from @careerent.bsky.social (is this the right place?!) The Future Skills Questionnaire draws on responses from nearly 1/4 million school aged yp (234k) - probably the largest study of its kind. Interesting insights about how ready they feel for work 1/6

Well that’s blown up my ‘let’s not put on the heating yet’ strategy.

Kaos on Netflix. Total genius. Surely. Doing for Greek myths what Baz Luhrmann did for Romeo and Juliet.

Summer reading: The Glutton by A.K Blakemore. Gripping, beautiful, disturbing. Not sure what to make of it!
