18. “Our evidence suggests that the assumptions of
many pupil tracking systems and Ofsted inspectors
are probably incorrect. The vast majority of pupils
do not make linear progress between each Key
Stage, let alone across all Key Stages. This means
that identifying pupils as “on track” or “off target”
based on assumptions of linear progress over
multiple years is likely to be wrong.”

24. A People Place (William J. Crocker)
If this is not a place where tears are understood,
Where do I go to cry?
If this is not a place where my spirits can take wing,
Where do I go to fly?
If this is not a place where my questions can be asked,
Where do I go to seek?
If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard,
Where do I go to speak?
If this is not a place where you’ll accept me as I am,
Where can I go to be?
If this is not a place where I can try to learn and grow,
Where can I be just me?
