- 8. What do they want? When do they want it? NOW! Options processes – the strength of my errors Can’t fit it all in one day – so don’t Timetables are like mayflies – respond to the changing market
- 9. There’s no point to Year 9! Only X can teach Y! Primaries/ colleges can do… We’re 50 hours over in humanities… Got rid of Year 9 – focus on GCSEs and deepen learning. Don’t start courses earlier. Double-certificate in an area. Push quality and Russell Group admission. So we explored whether we could do it. Increase/ extend/ alter tuition hours. Changed delivery format and style. We were only ‘over’ because we decided we were ‘short’ elsewhere. So we re- processed the time… We split the load. One teacher focus on a skill/ topic. We divide the labour. We ‘rotate’. We allow people to specialise, It drives development too.
