This is so fascinating! Important longitudinal study on Key Stage 2 results and earnings.
A MUST READ
- Higher KS2 attainment is associated with higher lifetime earnings

School improvement is not about perfection — it’s about progress, courage, and the determination to keep moving forward, even when it’s tough.
Over the past few years, I’ve learned that meaningful change in schools doesn’t come from chasing perfection or quick wins. It comes from really honest conversations, consistent reflection, and a relentless focus on what matters most — our children.
The path isn’t always smooth. There are tough days, hard truths, and moments when the mountain feels steep. But with the right people around you — those who challenge, support, and never lose sight of the bigger picture — real, lasting improvement happens.

Just remember: teachers probably impact more people in one year than an average person does in an entire lifetime. You are worth your weight in gold!

‘Why should we read aloud in class?’
“The teacher reading aloud and expertly modelling fluency (pace, expression, volume etc.) is likely a better bet than selecting underpractised pupils to read.”
