Why we should ditch the most popular GCSE English texts Research shows that merely adding new books to set text lists doesn’t lead to true diversity in GCSE English. To really make a change, we need to start removing the old faithfuls, writes End Sexism in Schools’ English lead

GCSE English is still dominated by white male authors – and simply adding new books to set text lists isn’t enough to bring genuine diversity in the curriculum, writes @endsexisminschools.bsky.social’s Rachel Fenn

Poster for PROJECT HAIL MARY

Add me to the long list of people in your feed who think PROJECT HAIL MARY fucking rules. Incredible film. See it big and loud with someone you love. Or by yourself. I'm not the boss of you.

Mathew Owen | Speech Writer | Manchester Bespoke wedding speeches from a professional comedy writer.

If you can re-post this I’d really appreciate it 👍

Booked pub lunch for mother's day: 9 people; but the table had only 7 places. We'd pre-ordered (at their request) but were told upon arrival that the menu had changed and one meal was no longer available. Then, the chicken supreme we'd ordered turned out to be roast chicken. Will not visit again.

I've been administering mock assessments. I'm not sure if "administering" is the right word because it suggests that I've been dishing out medication like an overly enthusiastic pharmacist.
Here's my latest reflection about teaching GCSE English in #FE matthewenglishfe.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/t...

One of my favourite childhood photos: taken on some windy spot in Cornwall during a holiday, in the early 80s. L-R: my best mate, my sister, his sister, me (& my dad in the background). My best mate died in 2007 and I still miss him.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work.
Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work.

Teaching Reflection #20: unpicking or unravelling the week? Welcome back! I took the whole of half-term off so I returned to college feeling refreshed and ready for the week ahead. That feeling didn’t last long, however.

My latest teaching reflection includes learning walk feedback, a hurtful email, disruptive behaviour, and a much-needed nap. matthewenglishfe.wordpress.com/2026/02/27/t...
