Wardrobe malfunction this morning and none of my kids told me about it. This is my suit jacket and trousers.

Just adding you to the list - you want to use and invalid marker to play down the clear impact of schools - matched by the national reference test this summer.

Similar. Have no-one I don’t want in the eleven. Subs have changed a few times already.

I changed a lot since then. But BB1 was the right strategy.

Thanks. I appreciate the conversation. @daisychristo has inadvertently backed me on the two arguments I was making yesterday I think. Worth reading.

The main issue is that we don't label people early enough? This is mad.

Will change if I decide to BB2. Can’t decide between Le Fee and N’Diaye and I don’t want Mykolenko. DCL might be Brobbey or Jesus.

Here you go. From Ofqual's mythbusting. It's in green. I've also included the part that says you are wrong in yellow.

Last year's teacher pay deal was published on the 22nd May. This year the Secretary of State (correctly) asked the STRB to bring forward their recommendations so that schools would be better able to plan ahead and "fully reset the timeline in 2026-27".

Thanks. I haven’t looked at methodology but to start with this doesn’t say what you claimed.

Not sure why you can’t eat a few fireballs and do this, Trego? All I hear is excuses!

I had to stop at this point, which should have been more obvious to me. We have forgotten the Ruth Perry lessons in all this.

Attendance is the closest thing we have to a silver bullet for outcomes, wellbeing, workload, retention, and good civic order. It’s right that minimum targets are set. Don’t think the inclusion of “AI” here helps the case because it appears all faceless.

I've asked two people and we've come up with multiple hypothetical ways to game this. It's going to take a *lot* more thought if it is not going to incentivise low-value qualifications for poorer pupils.
