@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

This graph is visually boring, but is completely fascinating to me. It's the share of people who "believe there is life after death." It's actually gone UP, just slightly since 1973. Even as religious attendance and affiliation have dropped exponentially.

You hear a lot of arguments about the abstract need to "slim down" the curriculum. In our latest post I suggest 2 primary topics that could be cut - but I also warn against overall reductions of content, as this will lead to lower standards. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/designing-...

@andrewoneill.bsky.social is, as usual, thoughtful in his approach in @tesmagazine.bsky.social, but there’s a profound misconception certainly in the headline. @ofstednews.bsky.social *is not* the regulator for schools (that’s DfE), but *is* for EY and social care. It’s just a school inspectorate.

Phillipson says that the Francis @beckyfrancis.bsky.social review will lead to “a core curriculum for all children that is deep and rigorous, knowledge-rich down to its bones” and mentions all pupils studying the Holocaust/Shoah. Does this “core” mean include RE? schoolsweek.co.uk/bridget-phil...
