I wonder what 2015 will bring for you and your students. Certainly, with the election due in May, we can expect plenty of political pronouncements and promises. So, what would I wish for this year?
Education itself should become more important than examinations – we should stop trying to measure everything. Is a student who has eight A* grade GCSEs including religious studies, but not history or geography, inherently less good than one who has geography?
We should stop making invidious comparisons between subjects and activities. Students are not all the same. If a student has a great talent in music, art or drama should we really be telling them that these subjects don’t matter or have no place in the curriculum?
