This needs to heard. Knowledge really matters and can’t be left to chance.
I gave a speech at the Policy Forum for Wales on Friday, setting out a range of recent evidence on curriculum reform, and calling for Welsh Government to reconsider the role of knowledge in the curriculum framework. #CfW

A groundbreaking study shows kids learn better on paper, not screens. Now what? theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

If this is what went wrong with CfE in Scotland then we need to make sure we don’t make same mistakes with CfW. The role of knowledge cannot be downgraded. If it is, we risk widening gaps further.

Thank you Edmund for this detailed, shocking and so, so sad, summary of the first day of Ruth Perry's inquest. I hope everyone involved in education in any way reads this. Poor, poor Ruth, a good headteacher helpless against a dreadful, cruel inspectorate.

Mounting evidence suggests that the use of smartphones in schools is linked with:
→ Reduced reaction times, task performance, enjoyment, retention, and academic outcomes.
→ Increased bad behaviour, academic dishonesty, depression, anxiety, bullying, and poor quality sleep.

It never gets old to witness the sun rise, to watch the landscape fill with light, the gold touching first the trees and then the fields, that warmth spinning the mist into plumes that meet the moors. It feels as if you're viewing a magnificent show laid on just for you.

The books we love when we're young change our lives forever, and so do the adults who help us to find & read those books. THANK YOU to all the amazing teachers, librarians & others who work so hard every day to inspire kids - we all owe you more than we can ever repay! #literacy
