A week in with KS3: The Ambitious Years. @samgibbs.bsky.social review: "Every young person has a right to an education that is rich in knowledge, high in challenge and rooted in belonging. That is not a luxury for some children; it is an entitlement for all." open.substack.com/pub/marymyat...
What are pupils being included in?
At KS3, the real question isn't just "do they belong?" — it's "what do they belong to?"
Rich knowledge? Demanding texts? Or a thinner curriculum because we've decided that's what they can manage?

Low pitch is not kindness. It can quietly close doors.
Pupils with SEND and lower prior attainment don't need a diluted curriculum.
They need one ambitious enough to be worth their time, and carefully enough taught for them to succeed within it.
