Totally agree with this. Trying to explain to bottom set kids they have a GCSE in maths if they get a 1 is quite difficult. All because of the ‘magical grade 4’ that makes others think anything less is inadequate.
If there’s one plea I could make ahead of GCSE results day tomorrow, it’s in the way the media and other commentators talk about GCSE grades. Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a phenomenal result that they deserve to be proud of. Let’s be a bit more responsible in our language.

This was one of my students who had self taught himself further maths a-level. I had to fight for him to be entered with our candidates and he came out with an A* 🥹 unbelievably proud and grateful to have played a part in his maths journey.

A really decent beginners app for learning Greek? I’ve downloaded duolingo but was wondering if any others were more effective?

This year was my first year 13 class (who I had from beginning of year 12) and they smashed it out of the park! Ironically it’s likely my last year 13 class as I won’t be returning to a school environment but definitely gives me some confidence to keep a level on when I tutor.
