We didn't write the Sunday Times article. That was by a journalist who saw our report and had some additional quotes from members of our team. So the language in that article is not ours.

It does indeed. In our report that we wrote we are clear that it is "as little as 14% of the marks". Either way, it is genuinely problematic to say that a standard pass is possible even if the range is between 14% and say 20%. It doesn't show a broad range of competency across fundamental maths.

Thank you again to our brilliant Chair, Professor Lord Tarassenko CBE, to our co-leads Dr Helen Drury and David Monis Weston, and to all of our fantastic Executive Group. Their experience and insight has been truly invaluable.

And this is not the end! More from Maths Horizons will be coming...

We shared our 7 recommendations in the House of Lords in May, and we are delighted to be able to share the full report today.

Since September 2024, we have heard from hundreds of experts through interviews and consultation feedback, as well as roundtable discussions and school visits, as well as conducting large-scale polling through Public First.

We’re very happy to listen to critiques and alternative viewpoints of any of our suggestions or analyses, of course. You can read the report here: www.mathshorizons.uk/reports

Good morning. Our report says that England’s system is in the best position yet. We’re not suggesting that the Grade 4 standard is too easy but that it’s currently possible to reach it with too few questions which is an exam design issue. We don’t suggest anywhere that all teachers should use AI.

Wow Sue, your allotment looks amazing! What an amazing achievement. My husband and I had one for five years and I don’t think it ever looked as tidy as yours!

Luke, this looks fascinating! Was this prompted by the book The Unaccountability Machine? If not, it’s a very thought provoking read.

And it obscures the real scandal - which is the totally inadequate child services support for kids post exclusion, the disaster of CAMHS, and the shocking lack of AP places (and in many places AP quality). Schools have a right to exclude - but excluded kids still have a right to an education.
