    The guidance has stuffed schools over - especially primary. Less kids bunged into less rooms giving a not too dissimilar proportion in some areas (though not all and far less the further you go up Secondary school) - some people need it because their employers are being difficult and exploiting...

    Just finished watching Safe on Netflix, written by the same guy that did The Stranger (Harlan Coben) Well worth a watch.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    He’s like a character created by Mike Myers - like a hybrid of Fat Bastard and Dr Evil.

    Wasn’t looking for an argument - just stating that quite often people that are supposedly radical left aren’t really that radical in the grand scheme of things...

    Buts what a moderate even anymore? In America if you want Universal Healthcare you are a fully fledged communist. Even in the UK, arguing to not have kids go hungry makes you a Trot/Marxist.

    Did you see as well they were trying to say one of them had a ‘communist’ tattoo, for it to emerge that in fact it was a tattoo popularised in a computer game (the ‘outsiders’ tattoo from the game Dishonoured if you are interested)

    She’s a next level fantasist that one. Absolutely fucking mental.

    @shmmeee I see he’s pulled SATS - at least you’ll have some clarity on what’s happening now.

    Don’t disagree as such, however I feel there is an argument to be made on the timings of when they take place... I’m not convinced it’s a productive way to start big school. I used to be a big fan of them, but years of scrutinising the data from them told me I didn’t learn anything I already...

    We actually did none - but that was because we didn’t want to put pressure on kids that had missed 6 months of school and had no transition. I hope this year it will be better with a transition process so it won’t be overbearing and more manageable for the Year 7.

    Not heard anything yet - personally i would scrap for this year, and use the remaining time to develop reading, comprehension and numeracy (as well as all the other Year 6 post SATS activities that they deserve) - schools can use other data like CATS and Reading age to inform them.

    It’s welcome - I’d like to see some scrutiny of all schools and their methodology of making predictions to keep it equitable. If they apply last years rationale - every class under a certain size will have no challenge to CAG’s and will be abused.... something I believe certain schools were...
