Dean Close MFL

@HelenMyers @ALL4language This is a really helpful study of the unfair grading of MFL at GCSE and its effect on perceptions of languages and take up at A Level

There is a danger that we become resigned to the status quo and do not agitate enough! I make no apology for reminding people about the inherent unfairness of grading for GCSE languages. Latest update from David Blow: all-london.org.uk/severe-grading… Pls RT @ALL4language #mfltwitterati

Another lovely @DeanCloseSchool event as our L6 celebrate the end of their Futures programme

Helpful when an A Level text pops up on tv (tonight). We saw this 2018 production at the RSC with some students and loved it. A Catholic ‘cleric’ in 17th century France becomes a Muslim impostor in a 21st century Pakistani home in Sparkhill, Birmingham
