Becky Francis: We’ll resist ‘non-educationalists’ who want revolution Writing exclusively for Tes, Professor Becky Francis details why the curriculum and assessment review does not support calls for ‘revolution not evolution’

@beckyfrancis.bsky.social knows that high standards can't just be for some children, they must be for all children.

Hi, Greg and a couple of colleagues are starting up an ALL branch for the south coast and IoW and I think they will do a meeting soon. Ours is a Solent Language Hub conference 🌺
