I read "black box thinking" this summer, highly reccommend it

Hard agree on this one!

Very difficult to get it right in education I think. Majority of the time when we are off everything is either super busy or super expensive. Wellbeing afternoons were a good addition at our school, reminded us of the quiter times during a day/week to complete activities

A good and positive results day yesterday which is always a bonus. As always the vast majority got the results they ultimately deserved. Now to plan improvements for the new year both GCSE wise, keystage wise and new assistant head role wise! 🫣

Agree with other comments, support clearly needed throughout and other interventions / outside agencies where possible but between 6 and 7 is the line for me.

First time using a private hospital today for a scan (benefit provided by work) and what a quality experience, how the other half live!!

They have always been around but 100% agree they are nonsense and at times cause lack of progress. Have spent years saying ignore them and aim as high as you but at times students (and some teachers) are content with "just hitting their target".

With results days rolling in, how are you going to respond? Having read this over the summer it certainly gives food for thought...... Blame or change?
