I've never been able to understand why (state) sixth form colleges have to pay VAT? When we buy things like graphical calculators in bulk for students to buy, we have to charge them 20% more than their peers in schools. If we have to pay it, private schools certainly should!

I saw henning wehn in a hotel. Coincidentally, I had some people recognise me (as a mildly well known within the union, as an activist). He saw my interaction and managed a snigger when I commented on the weirdness of other people knowing me when I didn't know them.

Solidarity and support for HSDC and Alton College workers on strike today. Good for you. Love and support from the rest of the post-16 sector. You're a force for good in the areas where you are.

In #MathsToday we explored sketching polar curves, through considering cartesian graphs. Enjoyed seeing them identifying polar curves from their sketches before we had formalised the different types. All in a room on the other side of campus due to computer science exams taking over our building!

Because I go away in the college holidays, and I have far too much to do to down tools... I've learnt to play the game of furthest north/ south/east/west we've worked on a TLMaths project. I'm claiming furthest East today.
