Leadership in schools is often summed up by the principle: “The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.” Effective leaders model the expectations they set and uphold the standards that define the school’s culture. Accepting poor practice, even in small moments, quietly resets the benchmark for everyone.

The DfE has rejected some of the curriculum and assessment review recommendations – @cerysturner7 looks at what has been dismissed or only partially accepted tes.com/magazine/news/genera…

Francis review: the recommendations rejected by government

The DfE wants full rather than phased implementation of curriculum reform - from 2028 - and puts the brakes on inclusion of RE in the national curriculum

I've just been on Times Radio talking about the govt's curriculum review. - really good Progress 8 is staying the same and coursework isn't coming back! - teaching to spot misinformation - this is a great aim but we know how hard it is to teach critical thinking in the abstract - need to see what the programmes of study will look like. See Willingham here for challenges of teaching critical thinking aft.org/sites/default/files/… One thing I didn't mention - the new Y8 tests - again, need to see what these will look like & if they will support or detract the work high attaining schools have been doing in KS3
