You can tell I’m lost for inspiration for a blog post title when the best I can come up with is “something else” … but then again I never rarely plan what I am going to write when blogging. I genuinely do just sit here and type whatever comes to mind. Of course, I have … Read more
So we have something that we are working on (you may have noticed the QLA tab at the top of the page) but we can’t decide on a name … so this is your opportunity to help us! If we choose your name we’ll give your school a free subscription to JustMaths online!! In order … Read more
Just a quickie …. You may know I’m a fan of the Edexcel/Pearson collaborative network meetings – this term will be the first time in about 4 or 5 years that I’ve not been involved in the one at my “home” school but I’ll be attending lots of other ones up and down the country … Read more

I included some analysis about the percentage of marks available on the “crossover” topics for Edexcel, AQA and OCR; I also went off on a tangent about the why … Read more
Just a quickie to let you know about the forthcoming dates for the collaborative network meetings that Pearson Edexcel run.
