First Johnson Sessions of the year. Thank you ⁦@MillfieldMusic⁩ As a leader in education, good looks like this - students at ease and honest in front of strangers, adults alongside, never above. Children comfortable sharing vulnerability and brilliance.

Here's the first of three takeaways from our most recent music lead network session: For evaluation purposes the 'products' of music are vague and ephemeral. Good assessment should capture learning 'in the moment.' Do you agree?

Punitive, a statement too many heads have felt. Far reaching change. An absolute necessity. We can’t just keep doing what we have always done - not when so many voices from the front line are yelling for change.
In a statement overnight Ruth Perry’s family have called for far reaching change in a system they describe as punitive. The statement is measured but also excoriating criticism - more follows in thread to keep the context

Who can we put into our curriculum? was today's Inset question at #Crowcombe and #Stogumber Primary School. A cardiologist, Rugby world cup referee, caretaker (previously a secondary DT teacher) and many more. Happy Summer holidays, whoever you are!

We continue to work with our newer schools on establishing an #enquiryled #curriculum, right up until the last day of the term next week. Over the next two weeks we'll have been in Somerset, Devon, Wiltshire, Dorset and Kent.

I get provoked very often but if I did this as I walked through the gates of my school I pretty much know the ending…
Is it too much to ask in @BorisJohnson Britain that the new Education Minister set an example to our nations children and not show the general public her middle finger.

And the teams of @_TPLT_ live out the motto above as Nicholas challenges them to think about cognitive development, and how it can inform (and form) a relevent and rich #curriculum; rooted in theory yet enacted through the choices teachers make.

Y1: Being an Author and Scientist. Great example of improved writing outcomes in the wider curriculum from September 2021 to June 2022. Direct result of contextually driven, locally focused #curiouscity, as a #enquiry-led learning framework that the school has made their own.
