"Large numbers of children leave primary school unable to read well enough to fully access the secondary curriculum and then go into a system set up on the assumption they can.
In 2018 25% of children did not achieve the expected standard in reading and 24% didn’t in maths."

Apologies if presumptious @beckyfrancis.bsky.social but I wrote this longish thing about why I think our problem is how the system makes its compromises in favour of those who find learning easiest.

Big systems are compromises. Our road network is a good example – the one I used to get here today. Some cars are safer at higher speeds. It’s more important for some people to be on time than it i…

We are very lucky to have Danny teaching in our trust!
This teacher had me, and all of the class, waiting with bated breath to hear how the neighbouring European empires were responding to the revolutionary activity in France.
Children were talking about what might be motivating the monarchs nearby. Everyone was learning TONS.

The way that knowledge is carefully structured and sequenced, and communicated with such skill and excitement, was jaw dropping.
Shout out to the @pkckst.bsky.social team. We saw the curriculum come to life and sing, and the fruits of meticulous conceptual progression blooming everywhere.

What do you do when the headteacher says you have to move on with the tour, but you just can’t bring yourself to leave the classroom?
That’s the position that I was in yesterday at West London Free School Primary.
Year 5 were learning about the Napeolonic Wars and I was on the edge of my seat.

This is why you don't design curricula around "jobs of the future".
We can't predict the future but we do know what general skills and knowledge will be valuable whatever job you do.

Much wisdom for the Curriculum Review @counsellc.bsky.social on not repeating old mistakes
"We might wish pupils to write in ways that are elegant or interesting, generous or peaceable, but the moment teachers slice performance goals into interim objectives, they create false progression journeys."

My @schoolsweek.bsky.social piece on curriculum reviews. If we learn from 35 yrs of them, we might avoid the ever-recurring problems. But without strong subject-curricular training, espec for senior/system leaders, the finest rubric will still feed old distortions.

Can’t wait to be speaking at this about all things disciplinary literacy.
Will be sharing lots of the strategies and tools we have implemented across our 7 primary schools, that ensure excellent writing outcomes in history, geography and science.
