Visited @MasefieldCP this morning and oh wow- absolutely BLOWN away. Thank you @andyidone for taking the time to answer all my Qs. They’ve curated such an incredible culture (curriculum, behaviour, wellbeing), the kids were wonderful & the results speak for themselves. Incredible

KS2 SAT’s in England today. How many teachers and parents will have a “growth “ conversation with the children? Stressing high attainment due to their effort and not guaranteed or lower attainment can be improved. Nothing is static or fixed #LabelsAreForJamJars @jpembroke

Just to remind everyone we’re working in a world in which grown adults are arguing about: - the size of the dot in comparison to the comma - the height of the dot - the direction of the curve of the comma on a SEMI-COLON DRAWN BY A 11yo THAT IS GRAMMATICALLY ACCURATELY PLACED

Turns out DfE have released KS2 higher standard results now for a change (usually it’s September). Thanks ⁦@_MissieBee⁩ for finding this. …e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/pe…
