Early in my career I remember wasting many hours in pastoral meetings debating whether report cards should have anything from a two- to a five-point scale, and a while later debating changing again. I'm now imagining similar meetings at the inspectorate discussing the same for school report cards.

💷 Happy budget day 💷 Before we find out more on the new govt's plans this afternoon, and following on from the new Sutton Trust report (by @samfr.bsky.social) out earlier this week - where is education at right now, and what has changed over time? A thread of LOTS of graphs 📈 📊
