All six Tory leadership contenders have pledged to fight VAT on private schools. Not one of them has promised more money for state schools. And there you have it.

If there’s one plea I could make ahead of GCSE results day tomorrow, it’s in the way the media and other commentators talk about GCSE grades. Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a phenomenal result that they deserve to be proud of. Let’s be a bit more responsible in our language.

👩‍🔬 Secondary Science Meanwhile in secondary, @UYSEG have utilised BEST research to address misconceptions in science throughout the curriculum. See this in action in our Y7 forces unit, where diagnostic questioning is embedded throughout: thenational.academy/teachers/progr…

@HughJRichards Totally unrelated: have you seen this? Nice physics/history intersection youtu.be/nOVvEbH2GC0?si…

@HughJRichards @DrWilkinsonSci "The concern is this" 🤣

What in the name of the risen Archimedes is this?!

It’s why I insist on buying all my own nationwide infrastructure

Krishnun Guru-Murthy shreds Mel Stride over claims that taxes are coming down - a must watch! MS, "Taxes are comind down" KGM, "No we're not, that's not true" MS, "Well, no, that is true.. Trajectory is downward" KGM, "Is the tax burden going down?" MS, "The trajectory is now on a downward path" KGM, "Is it going down? Sorry I'm not clear" MS, "Well no" KGM, "It's not going down, it's going up"

PHYSICS TEACHERS if anybody is changing exam boards to Pearson Edexcel please get in touch. I am happy to share a wealth of resources I have accumulated over the years!!

Q: Why are mini-whiteboards *magic?* A: because it is a whole-class snapshot for you, but a *1:1* experience for the child. Even a quick nod at their board or a "good" with a point makes it a 1:1 interaction. I can't think of any other way to pack so much 1:1 into a lesson?

Due to the past 2 years of poor examinations and what I’d consider more of an Olympiad style paper and possibly even an elitist approach to exam paper writing, I can't in good conscience stick with @Science_AQA for A level Physics.

I'm a year late on this. But they went back into the desert and made another masterpiece. Form tutors, science teachers, history teachers, slt who need an assembly... watch this. youtu.be/nOVvEbH2GC0?si… @TutorGroupThink

Rishi Sunak lied to you. He’s sent his ministers out to lie to you. They were told not to lie to you. You can’t believe a word they say.

EXCLUSIVE The chief Treasury civil servant wrote to Labour two days ago saying that the £38 billion/£2,000 tax attack “should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service” He said he had reminded ministers of this

"Frankly that’s a nonsense figure." Former Director of Strategy for the Conservatives, @mrchriswilkins, tells @BenKentish that the Tories will be pleased to have landed their point about a '£2,000 tax rise' under Labour.

All of these things are already taxed
