Delighted to be at the launch of the RSC Shakespeare Curriculum this morning with input from @realgeoffbarton.bsky.social Sir Ian McKellen, Helen Mirren and many other wonderful people
Will the government’s recently announced ‘ambition’ for 90% of children to reach the expected standard in the phonics check and its planned Year 8 mandatory reading test have the desired impact?

Are you trying to create an Evelyn Waugh-esque green bowler hats moment Jonathan?
"one senior leader had found 49 errors in the data"
As @pepediiasio.bsky.social says, the only sensible option is for the deadline for schools to do the data checks to be extended.

So, the CYPDM checking exercise has now been extended until 7 November, and data won't be published tomorrow as planned. V welcome extensions given the problems last week, but not good enough #data #gcses #alevels @ascl-uk.bsky.social
After a very quiet L3 results day last week, hoping for a similarly quiet week for L2 results on Thursday - good luck to all schools, colleges and students receiving results @ascl-uk.bsky.social
