I have recently written a new curriculum for 5-18 mathematics.

I think the approach to curriculum design is unlike anything that currently exists. I also think it is precisely what we need.

I will publish a full discourse shortly. But first, I would like to stress test my thinking.

At 7pm on Thursday, I will present my ideas in a live webinar.

I would like to invite all those interested in mathematics curriculum design to join me, hear me out, and share your thoughts.

If you would like to attend, please send me a DM with your email and I will add you to the invitation list, with a link to the webinar.

Being able to articulate the thinking behind the curriculum and receive feedback and criticism from expert mathematics educators and mathematicians will be enormously helpful.

Hope to see you there.

All six Tory leadership contenders have pledged to fight VAT on private schools. Not one of them has promised more money for state schools. And there you have it.

@bphillipsonMP Labour voter here - teacher recruitment and retention, school estates, services around schools (ie CAMHS) are much higher on the wish list. Curriculum change previously has led to high workload - ie not helping retention.

This was a joy to see today

Fabulous to see students enjoying another workshop with @BrassBandsEng

Beautiful cloud inversion over Monmouth this morning

[Severn Vale School @7valeschool]

What a fantastic way to end the term!! The first performance by our KS3 Drama group was a triumph. Well done to all.

Today is a great day. From representing their county of Gloucestershire together to England. What a day. Beyond Proud. Beyond Excited.

[John Maguire 🇺🇦 @velo_bristol]

Whilst @itv and @antanddec would like to see excitement ahead of a programme later, they might be less than delighted that what is trending is #BoycottImACeleb
Maybe inviting Farage and paying him millions wasn't such a great idea
#BoycottImACeleb pass it on

@head_teach Too many gaps in KS2 data. The opportunity to address that exists in 2025 and 2026 when no school has KS2 data.

[SVS DofE @SVSDofE]

Severn Vale School is proud to announce that we have now reached 200 completed DofE awards since we began running the scheme. Well done to all those who were part of the cohort to achieve their award and thank you to all the people who supported them during their awards.
