The DfE's new version of working together to improve school attendance becomes statutory guidance today: key.sc/attendanceupda… All of our resources regarding attendance have been updated in line with the new guidance: key.sc/resourcehub The DfE has also updated related guidance to bring it in line with the updated attendance guidance, but there are no further changes that school leaders need to be aware of.

Staff sharing key takeaways about the value of grouping, oracy, retrieval, metacognition, challenge and support. Giving time over to develop practice and talk through ideas is essential for teachers, students and the wider learning community. Thanks to all involved @DubaiCollege

Fantastic discussions and sharing at this afternoon’s adaptive teaching ⚡️ SPARK. Staff have engaged with research, designed interventions and evaluated the impact on students.
