Great news. It must be soul-destroying to keep resitting an exam in which the content is mostly inapplicable in most jobs. I would advocate for most pupils to sit Functional Skills Maths Level 3, while those who have a strength in this subject could opt for GCSE Maths.
The curriculum review will support changing the current ‘inflexible approach’ to GCSE maths and English resits, its chair @beckyfrancis.bsky.social told trust leaders today #CSTConf25

Great to have attended my first British Educational Research Association (BERA) conference in Brighton last week! It was heartening and inspiring to attend some fascinating sessions on a range of topics, and my brain is fizzing with ideas and the drive to complete my PhD research.

You should care about disability rights even if you don't care about other people at all. If you stay alive long enough, the question of whether you’ll become disabled is less a matter of if than when. #MS #PPMS #MultipleSclerosis

Love the etymology of the English language! So rich, thanks to all the people who have made these islands their home over thousands of years. Long may it continue…
The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
