How can metacognitive strategies be incorporated into #science #teaching to create an ambitious & inclusive curriculum that boosts learning for all students? @MapleyAnna @HFL_Education advises https://t.co/hn4IUXsKMq #teachers #teachersofx

@ThallonW Maybe maths and science opinions differ?… interesting

[Anna Mapley @MapleyAnna]

I haven’t yet heard a teacher say they don’t want the formula sheets - have your say!

[Ofqual @ofqual]

We’re consulting on the continued use of formulae and equation sheets in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

This follows @educationgovuk’s decision that students don’t need to memorise formulae and equations for GCSE maths, physics and combined science.

Exciting times for primary science:

Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) have a fully-funded EEF trial

If you have KS2 pupils, a science leader, and have not done PSQM before, your sch might be eligible… more details in images ⬇️

Interested? https://t.co/xGF6kHvzBY

Do share!
