Parents & Teachers for Excellence are delighted to announce our merger with @Knowledge_Ed - a network supporting teachers and leaders who are keen to develop the knowledge-rich approach in their schools.

This really is a non-story.

"School teaches pupils the importance of importance of expressing themselves clearly & accurately, inc. in written exams” isn't controversial. 🤦‍♀️

This is good. Strikes the balance between fairness to this years cohort whose education has been disrupted (generous grading, focussed content and in exam support) and to previous cohorts who did their exams before the pandemic (as we return back to normal standards over time).

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Encouraging stuff. Exams are the least unfair assessment method we have.

[Jonathan Simons @jonathansimons]

This seems a very sensible reform: well done to DfE and Ofqual. We need credible exams and judgements for young people and employers and universities and colleges and this should do that

[Nadhim Zahawi @nadhimzahawi]

Exams are the fairest form of assessment and will take place in 2022.

We’ve announced adaptations today that recognise the disruption caused to students, alongside plans for grading from @ofqual.

[Ofqual @ofqual]

Today we have set out our approach to grading for #GCSEs, AS and #Alevels in summer 2022 and autumn 2021.

We want to get back to pre-pandemic grading, but in the interests of fairness, we won’t do so in one jump.

What I love about teaching is being able to refresh and recharge each year. Every September, I focus on ensuring that my classroom culture and curriculum implementation will be even better than the last. Thanks @PTE_Campaign for sharing my opinion piece https://t.co/l0WLR3sFz2

[Loic Menzies @LoicMnzs]

Helpful reminder from @Bex_Cramer & @edvainker in @SchoolsWeek that “although we welcome @ASCL_UK’s proposal regarding admissions for disadvantaged pupils, the truth is that schools can act now without the need for systemic reform”

Really good to spend this morning chatting with more families about how we are going to ensure that our new secondary school is excellent.

Thanks to Cllr Goodchild for stopping by to talk about the town and the hope for the future.

A lot happening in education this week but the new @EducEndowFoundn toolkit is definitely worth being aware of - new insights on research impacts by setting/ phase & even subjects were possible to help focus interventions/PP spend to have most impact https://t.co/rO33pmMExW
