Devil’s in the details on this. Not sure some in government aware combined science means nearly all students are taught all 3. If using current spec, they’re gonna need a lot more science teachers… good luck with that…😳
Science GCSEs to get biggest overhaul in more than a decade
All schools must teach each science separately, as part of a government review into the curriculum to boost social mobility across England

A comfortable win at home?! As a United fan, what is this?!

Doing a whole school CPD on questioning, with a voice that is very sore… would not recommend! Lozenges for the win!

An interesting read from NFER. If the government just relies on pay to meet 6.5k new teacher target they’ll need to pay 10% pay increase a year for 3 years…

New year, same old physics teacher! Is it just me or having kids puts the fast forward button on the summer holidays…

My biggest achievement in teaching was a student who had every life challenge thrown at her get a 3-2. She used that qualification to take the long route to a career that she adores and helps others.
Just before tomorrow begins - an important message:

Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a phenomenal result that they deserve to be proud of. Let’s be a bit more responsible in our language.
