All good here thanks.
Just watched/read the new one - love how the 'when wouldn't you' brings the focus back to the teacher's purpose

Definitely right. But maybe that’s just confirmation bias…

It’s designed as a very practical review of design, implementation and trade-offs, from 5-18, findings ways to boost both mathematical outcomes and enjoyment. It’s chaired by Professor Lord Lionel Tarassenko and run through Purposeful Ventures. Find out more: www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Several things I’m really excited about with this review: inc. the focus on conference - maths (teaching, curriculum, CPD, etc) is so intertwined and this is often ignored, the opportunity to better know and understand the incredible bright spots of practice. And it’s led by brilliant people

As a secondary teacher I agree that the primary curriculum could be trimmed without affecting content later on (or depriving high attainers of opportunities for challenge)

Maybe an option might be optional standardised end of year assessments that schools could use to get a sense of comparison. Writing good summative assessment is really hard. Could nudge schools towards a good progression model? Lots of risks though I think

And when I was HoD in a start up, I would have loved them* - it was terrifying not really knowing where kids were compared to national averages for a full 5 years, especially as the GCSE spec had changed.
*I did use them as I had no good summative papers - it meant I could compare past classes
