@ProfKatyShaw Agreed. There’s a lot of work already being done on reforming the GCSE, which can accommodate a huge variety of ‘old’ and ‘new’ writers in exciting and ENJOYABLE approaches to literature and manifests

Excellent interview with @Runrober on
@timesradio today. Time to ditch the misleading idea that English doesn't lead to a good job: see https://t.co/rkGTOMKL1B and British Academy reports. English doesn't just lead to one career, but to a huge choice of careers

@curlewcalls @CarolineLucas Curriculum Review responses from several English colleagues/bodies have referred to the Natural History GCSE - I hope this will help

[Mary Colwell @curlewcalls]

@CarolineLucas, Tim Oates and I fought so hard to get it accepted, only for it to be blocked at the last minute. Nature needs us all to get behind this and put nature education at the heart of school life and learning. This is too important to be trashed by party politics.

@Mangham It’s FULL of fantastic contributors

@UnivEnglish @conversiontales Very much looking forward to the new E:SF in beautiful Yorkshire

"Bonus payments to water company bosses rise to £9.1m amid sewage scandal."

£3.36m for running a monopoly, how in God's name can that be right?
