I don't know what @LucyMPowell will make of the Pisa results. England's schools are doing well. We aren't perfect. We have a way to go. But we are doing well. Unfortunately, the things that have made us do well - limiting coursework, robust qualifications, high academic expectations, cultural capital - all seem to be at odds with the current government's direction of travel.

Education should be a passport - to work, to life, to further study. But too many young people are still being shut out. Read the full article here👇🏼

@MrDanielBuck “Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics." From the physics textbook “States of Matter” 1975

My principal left in the Summer. I’ve been at the school for a year. It is underperforming and serves a challenging cohort. I’d rather not be Acting Head, but someone needs to lead in the interim. Any advice from experienced heads on mistakes to avoid? @StuartLock @head_teach

This is why masculinity is good. It creates boys/men who are emotionally regulated. All the male criminals you see in the world can't regulate themselves.

There are now quite a few schools in England achieving remarkable GCSE results. The big next question: is their success replicable? substack.nomoremarking.com/p/what-should-…

Ok five years ago I sent out a load of micro tips for new teachers getting ready for September. By popular demand (literally nobody) here they are again!

There are a bunch of schools getting well over 80% of students a 4 or above in English and in maths Why are we even thinking about any policy intervention or reform other than "copying them" Make it make sense

If you want more students to leave school with good academic outcomes: Don't change the curriculum Don't change the way students are assessed Don't introduce modular exams Don't re-introduce and widen coursework Don't force children into making life choices at ever-younger ages

THREAD: Some schools have great behaviour. But I’m interested in how you IMPROVE behaviour. I’ve only ever worked in turnaround situations, and these are the specific whole school policies I’ve seen work. In order of effectiveness:

I’m in the Guardian today explaining why a primary school NEET register is a bad idea. “When you go to the dentist, what do you expect? That they will check your teeth, see if you need any fillings, give you some advice on oral hygiene? You probably don’t expect that they will teach your child to read, tackle youth unemployment or solve poverty.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

It's interesting, because Katharine Birbalsingh has said a number of times she couldn't possibly enter politics and retain her integrity, which I understand. But where are the academic monographs, the doctoral theses examining the success of her Michaela School? If this were in Labour/Plaid Wales or SNP Scotland, you'd have departments of education all over the UK financing research into how progressive methods of education improve student attainment. But no research has been undertaken or doctoral thesis granted funding to examine how the Michaela ethos and culture affects educational outcomes. If anyone wants to make a doctoral proposal, I'd be happy to supervise. I might even do it gratis.

Make this woman Education Secretary! (actually, don't, because then she would no longer be a head - but at least try to learn the lessons of the Michaela School) @LucyMPowell @andyburnham
