Hmm - not so sure about the stellar, but anyway - I enjoyed your chapter Elizabeth, and the bit about language made me think again on that topic!

The ISM has long called for the reform or scrapping of the EBacc and Progress 8.
These measures have marginalised arts subjects in schools. Since 2010, we've seen a dramatic fall in the uptake of music - entries have dropped by 43% at A-level and 30% at GCSE.

2/2 ...maths (say) 4hrs/week, and music 1hr/week, then in 6 weeks the kids will have had 24hrs maths vs 6 hrs music. So to be coherent, either maths should have an 'assessment lesson' every 6 days, or music should have one every 24 weeks. But I hear so often that this doesn't happen!
