Let’s wish all our Year 6 pupils sitting their SATs the best of luck.
They’ve worked so hard, excelling, uniting and never making excuses throughout their time at Parkside Academy. Time for all their hard work to pay off!

Please read and share this short and important piece on "awarding gap" and "imposter syndrome"!
By @DebbiHusbands #OrkunYetkili of @UniWestminster , @Multi_linguals #AminaRazak and #AyoMansaray
"We call on universities to pay attention to the way(s) HE is ‘experienced’ by racially minoritised students, particularly in their encounters with institutional structures and relationships in educational spaces. Less visible processes, such as the impostor phenomenon, also contribute to awarding gaps. Equally, under0representation and dynamics of in/visibility contribute to racialised students’ marginalisation. The findings from our studies triangulated well, pointing to a multidimensional, systemic problem in urgent need of resolution."

✨New blog post on @norrag! I recently attended #BETT2024 and found that it represents a global promissory agenda of education, invoking the “affective ideology of EdTech”!
Big thanks to @maren_elfert for supporting this blogpost from the initial idea until publication!
Second #blog on EdTech summits! 🌐
Pravindharan Balakrishnan reflects on the BETT Show, which in his view represents a global promissory agenda of education, invoking the “affective ideology of EdTech.”

In the context of the Micaela judgement; our book provides positive examples of addressing Muslim religious and educational needs, with suggestions for further improvement eg ablution facilities.
