If you are watching this and don’t get what White Privilege is by now you probably never will.

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

Harding’s husband is an MP or a peer isn’t he?

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...

I saw that on Twitter last night, clicked on it and it took me to the Liverpool score... guess they were doing some trolling!!

What’s the biggest barrier to vaccinating - is it having enough doses or the infrastructure required?

I think Kier has finally managed to get the zoos closed.

Thing is he’s made some good points during all this, but they’ve gone to shit now.

There may well be records of continual assessment that can be applied to allow him to complete. Like a skills based record of work or something. Fingers crossed for him.

The half term gives a natural break in normal proceedings maybe that he can try and aim for?

Back in the day (March and April) they had people queuing outside with limits and all sorts... places like Asda just gave up and then ended up like zoos just before and after Xmas
