Education Policy Institute@EduPolicyInst

We’re opening the day, at 11:30, with @AQA to ask: what would a Curriculum & Assessment system that works for everyone look like? We’ll explore how inclusive reform could address wider challenges incl. pupil absence and wellbeing. More info: epi.org.uk/events/liberal… #LDConf

Today is #LiteracyDay and it got me thinking. We can often assume that young people today are naturally digitally literate, born into a naturally digital world. But how true is that? Read my thoughts in my latest AQi blog, link in below.

With apologies to Mr Human. It's an insightful article about a prominent issue and I'm sure he's tired of the same old jokes.

@BenKentish @harry_qp @theipaper -chance of success and is a bit more strategic. But they didn’t do that, and their bluff got called and their powder is now all spent. So now will struggle to come out with future warnings. The independent schools who cried wolf!

@BenKentish @harry_qp @theipaper follow, absolutely hit them with 20%. But don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!” Then it’s 6 months consultation, another 6 months to build the framework, then a year (or two) to give a lead in time.

Proud of the work that's gone into our new Maths readiness assessment - AQA Stride. Big thanks to Capital City College for showing the positive impact Stride is already having in centres.
AQA@AQA

We visited Capital City College Group where we heard from students and teachers about how #AQAStride is supporting #LessonPlanning and building #StudentConfidence ahead of maths resits. Fancy a sneak peek into what they told us? Watch it below. (5/5) @informed_edu

Last year, AQA awarded 36,656 project qualifications: which boost learners’ skills, deepen their knowledge and nurture their passions. Congratulations again to Emily on her @AoC_info Project Excellence Award and EPQ!
Association of Colleges (AoC)@AoC_info

Great to have @LeighInghamMP mention the recent AoC Student of the Year awards and congratulate AQA Project Excellence Award winner Emily Rizk from @NSCGStafford and @NSCGNewcastle during Business Questions in the House of Commons.

Brilliant to welcome @ZoeFranklinLD to our Guildford office on @UniOfSurrey's campus this morning. AQA colleagues and members of our wonderful Student Advisory Group had a wide-ranging discussion on matters ranging from the creative arts, SEND and the impact of AI on education.
