"non-uniform days". One of the things I've found hardest to get used to here in the midlands is that no one calls them mufti days.

This mix isn't perfect, and we're now seeing its drawbacks and trade-offs, but it is a lot better than what we see in the US, Wales, Scotland and elsewhere. The progress has been hard won and might be easily lost.

It also underlines exactly what has gone right in England: - exams and accountability coupled with a knowledge-rich curriculum - proliferation of understanding of evidence - grassroots teacher movement to embrace what works - Ofsted, for all its faults, is better than no Ofsted

LOL this is like when the NEU voted to abolish Ofsted. Itβs not their decision, they donβt get a say, the vote isnβt binding, itβs just to make them feel better about their pathetic lack of influence.

Talking about the possible Mr Benn film with Mrs Toast and she quite rightly pointed out that the shop keeper should be played by Bob Mortimer. "Have you considered fighting a dragon Sir? What about zero gravity?" 90s Vic would have been a superb Mr Benn too.
