Why this curriculum review is a rare thing the sector should savour
After years of policy turbulence, we finally have an evidence-based blueprint for change that trusts teachers as the experts, writes MAT chief executive Dan Morrow

The trainees were studying rocks in Science with @dannynic.bsky.social yesterday. Some experimented with using their phones to capture the image through the pocket microscopes. Produced these cool images. They look like little planets! #science #edusky

“But I decided to give it up and make a living by the sword.” “After being a teacher all your life?” “It did mean a change of perspective, yes.” “But … well … surely … the privation, the terrible hazards, the daily risk of death…” Mr. Saveloy brightened up. “Oh, you’ve been a teacher, have you?” Terry Pratchett. ‘Interesting Times’.
