A search of Bluesky has revealed a handful of messages about it, by no more. I hope part of the process includes asking if there was sufficient response from teachers and parents to make draw valid judgements or if it is all just from bodies who will have limited direct contact with the outcomes.

I found out about the review two days after it closed. Over the last week I've asked and yet failed to find any colleague in my school who knew about it, let alone who responded. Most of us are parents as well as teachers and so tick two boxes.

Not a surprise, but important to have it confirmed: the outcome of Ofqual's consultation is that students WILL receive equation sheets in GCSE Maths and Physics for the next 3 years, just like the last 3 years. 2025 ones to be published in Dec, but they'll be identical to the 2024 ones.

Before the whirlwind of next week sweeps us up, here's my website devoted to time-saving tips. There are a whole range of things; changing my planner to one that combines week-to-view with year-to-view at the same time has made a massive difference for me, but what could work most for you?

Finding it harder than it should be to manage #Bluesky followers and lists? Here's my simple yet quite useful (??) alternative using just a #GoogleSheet!
See who you aren't yet following back.
Set search terms for list membership and then have the list membership update automatically, on a timer.

A huge number of teachers have arrived here this week (hello!), all celebrating a jump from Twitter. I've been off Twitter for a while and so am not in touch...did something happen last week to cause everyone to move, or is it just the middle of the holiday? 😂

Bsky lists...can be curated manually (Lists>Add new), BUT can also be created from search rules using Skyfeed.app (Lists>Create), which is so powerful! It searches profile descriptions, making it so important to cram these with relevant keywords and tags if you want to be found.
