"Too often, KS3 is treated as a rehearsal for GCSEs rather than a stage with its own intellectual purpose."

In my latest podcast, @marymyatt.bsky.social said the recommendations in the Curriculum and Assessment Review's final report could make Key Stage 3 the 'intellectual powerhouse' of secondary schools.

Morning,

A request for help:

I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and I’ve been on supply ever since.

I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp.

Schools don’t always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on?

I’d really appreciate it!

We know the difference a great curriculum can make for pupils with SEND and for those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

I think it’s worth opening up the conversations about:

1️⃣ how to make the curriculum both challenging and accessible

While the Curriculum and Assessment Review contains recommendations for the DfE, there are some themes that are worth considering now.
