#FridayFive Australia
It’s big enough for two…

2. For Those About To Rock. AC/DC.
3. Beds Are Burning. Midnight Oil.

#FridayFive curated by @bennewmark.bsky.social - together in music 🥰

#FridayFive is pleasantly lost.
1. Lost in Music. The Pointer Sisters.
2. Higher State of Consciousness. Josh Wink.
3. Handcuffed to a Fence in Mississippi. Jim White.
4. With Our Backs To The City. Epic45.
5. Skater. Four Tet.

I remember @richardselfridge.bsky.social once replying to a leader who wanted to know what they'd replace target grades with. He said "hope."

Worth noting:

Ofsted publicly discredited our story that they were considering delaying the return of routine inspections - saying it was not on the cards

Today they've announced they are ... delaying the return of routine inspections to at least December, potentially January)

Yes, it’s not exactly busy on The Other Place either - the difference between now and 5/10 years ago is fairly stark.

Lots of engaged teachers here, mind, so maybe the discussions are simply happening elsewhere?
