And remember, changes in the threshold do not mean a change in the expected standard. Changes are made to maintain the standard year-on-year and reflective relative difficulty of tests.

For SLT trying to support middle leaders in curriculum design, teaching & evaluation, if you missed my @researchEdhome talk in June, here it is. It culminates in some Qs for helping senior-middle leader conversations reveal (rather than bypass) curriculum: youtube.com/watch?v=nUs1ghEA…
Highly recommend @Counsell_C’s presentation on supporting middle leaders need for the curriculum to flourish. @researchEdhome Lots of advice on research led practice. core and hinterlands and building a culture to allow this to happen. #historyteacher

Excellent food for thought for any KS1 teachers...and LKS2 for that matter.šŸ™Œ
If a Y1 class were not taught to ā€˜count within 100, forwards and backwards, starting with any number’ before school closures, would you go straight into ā€˜add and subtract within 100’ (as Y2s)? No? What about if they didn’t finish their phonics programme is Y1 or Y2? šŸ¤”

We need to ā€˜nourish’ subject leaders by giving them space for professional learning. It keeps the job intellectually stimulating. (Paraphrased from @jillberry102 & @johntomsett) #curriculummasterclass Agreed! I get so much personal joy šŸ’“from being intellectual about my subject!
