If you have any idea what it was called or can remember something about it that might help me find it, that would be massively appreciated!

Does anyone mark maths GCSE for AQA?
How well does the system work with tiny tiny writing? Are the scanned in answers high enough resolution to zoom in on?
I have a student with the smallest writing I've ever seen and I'm worried that they might not get the credit they deserve.

UV: You can safely stay outside. Consider sunscreen in direct sunlight.

The @metoffice.gov.uk app has updated itself. Most of it seems good.
Not entirely sure about the UV recommendation though.
I don't think Yorkshire in January will require sunscreen in direct sunlight!

We've gone with Timetabler. Really impressed with it so far.

For some reason I thought that 8am would be a good time to book for New Year's eve. Now I'm not quite sure why I chose the earliest appointment!

The difference of two squares is very useful!
nΒ²-1=(n-1)(n+1)
If nΒ²-1 is prime, then n-1=1, or n+1=1.
The only valid solution is when n=2 you might be looking for a very long time in your search for another one!

Schools that use Bromcom: what timetabling software do you use?
Has anyone tried Bromcom's own TT software? If so, what's it like?
We're a recentish converter to Bromcom and need to choose new timetabling software.

Ministers seek 3-year pay proposals and directed time review STRB also told to consider a salary safeguarding reduction and allow maintained schools to pay bonuses

This is interesting: schoolsweek.co.uk/ministers-as...

I wonder what the outcome will be - particularly the directed/undirected time review.
