"Too often, KS3 is treated as a rehearsal for GCSEs rather than a stage with its own intellectual purpose."
@marymyatt.bsky.social asks: Can we turn Key Stage 3 into the ambitious years?

Morning,
A request for help:
I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and Iβve been on supply ever since.
I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp.
Schools donβt always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on?
Iβd really appreciate it!
Great day with colleagues at Cleves Cross showing the impact of working with The Teachers Collection!

βFeedback: A message in a bottleβ
βFeedback is not a clear, simple exchange. It is a difficult, contingent, emotional, belief-laden effort. Teachers pose messages that can be easily lost, or can hit home very directly.β

Iβll be sharing ideas on these three strands in the next Myatt&Co webinar on Tuesday 18 November 4-5pm.

2οΈβ£ whether itβs possible to do this if we have a culture of high challenge and low threat in our settings
3οΈβ£ whether we can address the tension between breadth and depth in curriculum content

We know the difference a great curriculum can make for pupils with SEND and for those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
I think itβs worth opening up the conversations about:
1οΈβ£ 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.
As with Ofstedβs new EIF thereβs a big focus on inclusion.
