The theory of change here is that giving people more things to work on means they are more likely to improve. And that telling everyone that they aren’t as good as you thought will motivate them to do so.

The head of Ofsted says the fact that it issues more ‘needs attention’ grades than ‘requires improvement’ is evidence the watchdog is raising standards – prompting criticism for comparing new and old frameworks https://schoolsweek.co.uk/ofsted-chief-criticised-over-inspection-framework-comparison/

Good to see a balanced debate about ‘reading for pleasure’ and debate the term too. Context matters - reading in primary school is very different to secondary. My experience with struggling teen readers is that it's the wrong starting point for them, even if it is a worthy end goal.

I find it wild that if you’re verbally abusive to a police officer or a nurse you can be prosecuted, but we are saying that when it happens to teachers it’s not even appropriate to send a child home.

I’m delighted to have contributed to this series! @triciamoss.bsky.social and I wanted to bring together everything we wished we’d known back when we were starting out in leadership of the English curriculum. We hope How To Lead It, Primary English does just that for primary English subject leaders!
