Music plays a central role in the celebrations & ceremonies this weekend. All those musicians were encouraged and inspired by music teachers, and we will watch proudly as our current and former pupils serve the nation through their art. 1/2

@Steven_Berryman @tes Not doubting the proposals that music makes you better at maths, a better team player, a better learner etc, but most importantly music lessons make you a better musician. That's enough by itself. Music needs no other justification than music. That's why it's on the curriculum.

You want world-leading? It's our music. It's our musicians. It's our art. Today has demonstrated this, yet again. Our politicians would do well to remember that.

What an incredible thing @WAbbeyChoir @ChapelRoyalHCP James O’Donnell & Peter Holder are doing today. Perfectly judged music to reflect & absorb the grief of a nation. Let us never take for granted the professionalism & fearlessness of our musicians.

Two great sessions today teaching @synthesischool, from curating an art collection to ocean resource management...we don't care if you 'win' or 'lose', but you must understand WHY!

This is super important. 'Reward work output instead of work time...Superhuman dedication is often not necessary for organisational success.' Don't be a hero all the time!

This is a distraction from the serious matters of Healthcare, but is sadly exactly what we expect from the Mogg school of pedantry theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

The age-old debate. Ultimately reduced to mathematical certainty; time is finite and fewer students = more time per student. Hard to control for efficiency though

Not a gimmick. Super-selective state sixth forms are doing a good job competing with super-selective independent schools re Oxbridge entry. There is no silver bullet to 'level up' and independent schools aren't all 'hot houses' bit.ly/3p2qZxc

Many business leaders today are much more interested in a candidate's practical skills & lived experiences, than their academic achievements. Here's my thoughts on why we need to re-assess assessment: virg.in/42Yk @bigchange_ @richardbranson #Exams #EduChat #Education

How about we spend more time exploring with pupils what we can all learn from the period of online learning? We might then find out why some would rather learn from home instead of coming to school. bit.ly/3gsfKtr @sweale
