This afternoon we are joined by 17 schools who are part of our original testing group for our Big Education School Diagnostic

This dialogic tool works to encapsulate what a school delivering an education of the Head, Heart and Hand CAN and SHOULD look like!

Happy Easter everyone! @WappingHigh

Worst possible Prime Minister and worst possible government at the worst possible time?

[David Mitchell @DeputyMitchell]

Local Authorities in the Tier 4 areas tried to close schools to protect families this week! @GavinWilliamson and @educationgovuk sent their lawyers in to keep them open!! Now this... on the day after schools closed. I will never forget and I hope millions others don’t either!

The late Christopher Reeve said ‘A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.’

There's nothing ordinary about the team at Wapping High school and to all the heroic staff in every school.. #WappingHigh

Given the stress that the Secretary of State has put on schools to stay open regardless of their Covid infection challenges, this is nothing less than astonishing and with virtually no time to plan required actions too, it is a national disgrace.. https://t.co/7hdLQbrQYv

[Andy Buck @Andy__Buck]

My thoughts are with heads over the coming few weeks. Keeping schools open is the right decision, but the logistical challenges will be immense as they inevitably find themselves managing operations with fewer teachers and support staff. Remember that all you can do is your best.

[Gary Nelson @ginelli65]

@JonPalmer82 @WappingHigh And well done to you and your progress and achievement team Jon, for all your continuing commitment to Wapping High’s amazing learners @WappingHigh

I realise this is a US focused piece but it’s still an interesting reflection wherever you are... https://t.co/UlI7c5l1aI

[Nicolette Sorba @NicoletteSorba]

So proud to be part of the teaching profession. Well done to all those teachers who still created a half term full of great learning experiences in spite of bubbles, social distancing and rarely getting to teach in specialist classrooms.

[Gary Nelson @ginelli65]

I’m so very proud of all the fantastic, hard working staff at Wapping High School. They’ve been amazing all term and have been truly inspirational in their determination to do all they can to keep our students learning and safe in these most challenging of times. #WappingHigh

@RMacfarlaneEdu explodes the myth that exams are fairer for disadvantaged students. High stakes, high stress exams are far harder to navigate if you live in poverty or have a fragile home life. Assessment that is more ongoing allows strengths to come out. https://t.co/NyXNsalzuT

[Rethinking Assessment @rethinkassessmt]

Great new blog from Rachel Macfarlane highlighting the unfairness at the heart of the exam regime for the most disadvantaged: @RMacfarlaneEdu; @tes; @LNassey; @AKMPeterson;
