A Message to Headteachers and Senior Leaders
We know things feel overwhelming right now, but remember:
• You are great at what you do.
• Take it one step at a time.
• Prioritise your well-being—you can’t pour from an empty cup.
You've got this! 💙

Curriculum and assessment review: schools sector has its say In response to the review’s call for evidence, sector organisations recommend changes to assessments and the scrapping of performance measures

With the #curriculum review’s call for evidence closing today, @johngroberts.bsky.social and @jasminenorden.bsky.social round up the changes that the schools sector is pushing for, including:

🔹 Scrapping primary assessments
🔹 Spreading GCSE exams over 2 years
🔹 Streamlining the curriculum

*NEW POST*

This looks fantastic! I'll definitely be signing up for it.
