Would absolutely love to get a pint with a twelfth century ceric whose beef with Beckett is that he was showboating
"Unfortunately for them, people persisted in enjoying their music" 🎩
That's a really good point. I think it's the pincer of low productivity meaning most wages stagnate apart from the ones raised by law
Little power BI tip: if you've got a measure for say attendance you usually show to 1dp eg 94.5% but want to show 100% instead of 100.0%
In measure tools set formatting to dynamic and put this in the formula bar:
IF(SELECTEDMEASURE()=1,"0%","0.0%")
Incredible to think a part of wedding planning would be sitting down at the registry office to twiddle a dial between "our love will never die"/"I'm all in, not sure about them"/ "two sluts taking each day as it comes"
I really enjoyed it. Turns out we kinda sorta fought a war in Yemen in the 60s - who knew?
Do the fiscal rules factor in demographics? We're struggling to pay for today's old people, but in the imagined future when debt's falling there'll be even more of them relative to the workforce
All 10 of the most improved are special schools.
It's great to see their pupils' getting better grades and a welcome reminder that being outside mainstream education and put on the scrapheap are not the same thing!
Something we can do in lieu of P8 to recognise progress is look at the most improved A8 between 2024 and 2025.
Massive shout out to table toppers Church Lawton School here who went from 20.4 last year to 39.9.
Looking at individual schools top of the league it's Michaela! (sux 2b a h8tr)
Before you shout at me about Watford Grammar, GIAS says they're 'non-selective' 👀
Incredible scenes in the big league (MATs with 10 or more schools in tables) - Star Academies and my friends at the Harris Federation joint top with 50.4!
A8 of above 50 broadly means the average grade is a strong pass, grade 5
Congrats to Twyford CofE and Xavier - mainstays of the top of the P8 tables, underpinned by v high attainment.
Attainment 8 of 64.8 equates roughly to the average grade being a strong B in old money
Happy provisional GCSE compare school performance day to all who celebrate!
No P8 this year because covid hit when this cohort were in Y6, so I'll be tweeting about Attainment 8. I've excluded independent and selective schools cos not interested in those educating in easy mode.
It could make a difference if it makes it easier to prosecute businesses hiring ppl illegally. Current system is worst of both worlds as burdensome to those following the rules while easy to feign innocence as long as there are a couple of photocopies in a drawer somewhere
You can scoff but that visionary genius came up with the idea of putting rubbish in hard plastic containers...with lids! NY streets are like the deck of the Enterprise thanks to her
I think you'd still need some gas smoothing to deal with wind intermittentcy

So does that change during KS1? At what age should we expect boys to catch up (if at all)?
One of the most interesting gender gaps in ed data is the % achieving a good level of development at early years.
In 2024:
Girls: 75%
Boys: 61%
No one thinks that's because we're better at teaching little girls right? Girls are just naturally better at the stuff we care about at that age
UK now charges £60 for a tourist visa, add an additional tourist tax on top and you're in killing the golden goose territory imo.
The spitty one from Jurassic park - smug and rude
It probably crops up in there but if not definitely Google Ganymede and Helen - debate about whether gay or straight sex is better written by a twelfth century monk
After what's happened with T-Levels schools/colleges would have to be insane to get on board with the next big vocational qual when it comes along
