Among this fascinating report's findings is that 74% of people agree with the #protectstudentchoice campaign that sixth form students should be able to mix and match vocational and academic subjects. With BTECs, this is possible - but under current plans, it won't be from 2026. https://t.co/g5IdAAmBba

From interleaving to cognitive load, lots of us know a little about the science of learning. But how do we apply it in a new context? @hood_nina's lovely blog for @educationhubnz looks at the earliest years, but it's relevant to sixth form teachers too!https://t.co/ZA1tj54ZPU

Amid scepticism, including from us, about the "Advanced British Standard", it's worth revisiting why broadening the sixth form curriculum is nonetheless a vital aim. The model @schooltruth and @teacherhead put forward here is well worth a look. https://t.co/5TgiMQDcTC

.@FranklinGrimsby is unusual for a sixth form college in the scale of its community learning provision, which is central to their mission to challenge inequality. The head of adult learning explains in a new blog how they came to this award-winning work:https://t.co/UqKBj3UBVD

Our response to the @educationgovuk consultation on the Advanced British Standard is below - "A new top-down reform of sixth form education is not a high priority for our members, particularly as the last top-down reform is still being implemented".https://t.co/DPYz3kk5Rc
