🎂🎈 Datalab turns 10 today!

In our birthday post, we look at some of the things we predicted in 2015 to see if we got them right, and talk about some big issues in education right now that weren’t even on our radar back then.

Beautiful Solemn Evensong & procession for Candlemas tonight @TewkesAbbey with @HannahBarraclo8 @CarletonEthers @TewksAbbeyChoir “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation.” With thanks to @MollyBoot1 for photo

It was such a joy to sing to a packed @TewkesAbbey at our Service of 9 Lessons and Carols last night. Wonderful to see our young probationer choristers singing their hearts out too - may this be the first of many such services for them! @GlosDioc @churchofengland

[Tewkesbury Abbey Choir @TewksAbbeyChoir]

Singing in a choir is about more than just making music. It’s about fun, friendship and fellowship; it’s about love, laughter - and tears. Today 37 of the Abbey Choir sent a much-loved member of our choir on his final journey. Sing with the heavenly hosts, John.

Our new work in @NatureHumBehav shows dramatic failures in teaching children in low- and middle-income countries to read. Essential to align global literacy interventions with the science of reading #phonics #SDGs. https://t.co/9VyLkakqIL

As darkness falls on All Hallows’ Eve, many will celebrate Halloween. For Christians, it also marks the start of All Saints’ Day—a time to honor those who came before us in faith. Tonight, I invite you to light a candle for loved ones no longer with us, as a symbol of hope and the promise of eternal life in Christ.

Glorious French weather in La Guillermie this week and a very happy dog. A treat to have breakfast and lunch outside every day.

Learning to read is the most important outcome of primary school. The evidence about how to foster this has been available for decades. The Welsh govt has an opportunity here to grip this issue and make a difference to thousands of children.
