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 - Higher scores in Maths impact earnings more than English - Benefits from doing better in KS2 English

Too often in education, we debate which teaching strategy is best. But what if the real question is: when should we use it? In this post, I dive into a common trap even great teachers fall into: using high-impact strategies like checking for understanding, problem-solving & group
