So, I now understand the co stand references to Oak all the way through the Final C&A Report!

And Oak has another job…

Another example where I am surprised at the inclusion of Oak as an example…. P53

Ummmm… p52

Whilst I agree that teachers are often better placed to chose content and centrally prescribed curricula can hinder- I do not endorse Oak as high quality exemplification. The heavy prescription of Oak materials certainly do not reflect the principles espoused in this review. 🤔

Apple cores are to be savoured. Carrots are a regular treat. I think it’s the crunchiness of them that my dog adores.

She also likes cucumber and will even stretch to a crunchy lettuce leaf! 🥰

Then a reason for this…. 2/3

Something definitely caught his attention! Herbert likes flies. And plant pots.

I am surprised, given this report, that Ofsted are ploughing on with their timelines. But perhaps this reflects the evidence collected?

Limitations are interesting- essentially it seems NatCen were asked to cobble something together from a mess of data. 😬

Just what #Caturday was made for.

Thank you! Good night.
