"Curiosity in Computing"
"Schools should do so much more: empowering and motivating pupils to learn things for themselves, rather than just listening attentively to what is taught." - Absolutely!

We had our Year 6 Open Evening tonight at Michaela.

We normally have only nearby inner-city families visiting.

Tonight, there were LOADS of private school kids from far.

So bizarre.

We are seeing the effect of VAT costs to private schools in real time.

@shirky17 @smartinez I used inkskitch with @roehamtponedu trainees last year from @turtlestitch - it was a little clunky but it worked! Should be fine for SVG, but bitmaps will be a bit harder…

@SiobanBlight @TigWilliams @RoehamptonUni @_UoW @Mr_McCarthy_CS Thanks for coming, and sorry it was so much hassle getting home!
