Marsh Artists Marsh Year 8 have been exploring Impressionism and have shown excellent skill in the application of watercolour and mark making on their landscape paintings.

I thought the #Education sector had previously had this debate. Imagine a loved one going for a medical procedure…you would never accept a surgeon adopting an approach based on their ‘preference’. You would hope it was based on evidence of what works. This is a retrograde step.

A far greater proportion of private than state school pupils get extra time in exams… which is even odder when you consider the wider context this is happening within: we know special educational needs are more prevalent in poorer areas ft.com/content/5f96ea…

We’re delighted to share that Caroline Doherty, Ark’s Head of Public Affairs, has been appointed to the @CSTvoice's policy advisory group. Caroline will support the CST through insights, advice and feedback on policy issues and challenges. ➡️tinyurl.com/5a64v6tw

Happy STEM Day, everyone! 🎉 The purpose of National STEM Day is to encourage young people's interest and engagement in STEM subjects. So let's celebrate the magic of science, technology, engineering, and maths today and every day. #STEMDay @MathsMastery @ScienceMastery

To reinforce the point, just 14% of schools with 50%+ Pupil Premium (PP) achieved positive ‘Progress 8’ in 2023; compared to 61% of schools with 25% or lower PP students. 50%+ schools should learn from the best performing schools working in similar contexts.
