We had a very special visit from Championship referee, Ollie Langford today.

Pupils gained insight into what referees have to go through, the skillset referees need to go onto a football field, leadership, resilience, and strength.

@Cleathert01 @MrRoberts_PE Happy to chat more about it if I can help

[John Gunn @mrgunnmaths]

@Cleathert01 @MrRoberts_PE We use them as a standardised score to measure student's progress against their starting points (KS2 scores and CAT scores). There is a lot more information that they come with but unless you make your curriculum match the tests exactly, I'm not sure that using QLA is useful.
