So glad you haven’t fully retired! Your clarity, wisdom and insight are much needed in these uncertain educational times….

There are no silver bullets when it comes to curriculum - but we overlook our pupils’ natural creativity at our peril….

Give RE the status, coherence and rigour it needs, by ensuring all teachers of RE, primary & secondary, know what pupils have learned in earlier years and so can use and build on it. Our current system is inequitable. Countless children miss out. @culhamstgabriel.bsky.social @retoday.bsky.social

This blog beautifully explains why generic t&l is v limited (beyond strong routines, behaviour management etc, but they're not teaching). We can't meaningfully judge, analyse improve, train or support teaching without being steeped in subject-specific, curricular shaping of the thing being taught.

Really struggling to understand why Kent County Council are trying to β€œsave money” and reduce provision when for nearly a decade the provision for SLCN across the county has been too small to meet need. Government thinking on SEND can’t happen soon enough.

I have lead SRP in Kent, they are a vital resource and Cassie is absolutely right about the role of the panel. It seems that everything is a barrier in Kent, even the consultation co-production groups I volunteered to be part of, have been disbanded. #SEN
