Quick look: The Teachers' Standards in Primary Schools

August 14, 2026

This is very well set out. It takes each standard, and gives you ideas on how to achieve it, and what success in this context looks like.

Readable, with plenty of examples, it is certainly a great reference book. Although it was published in 2016, the standards it refers to were published in 2011, and the introduction to the Standards was updated in June 2013. The only caveat is that the latest terminology update took place in 2021, and I'm not sure how that impinges on the main contents of the book.

However, the “good practice” guidance is still useful I think, and so this might be worth a look. But as always, of course, caveat emptor — let the buyer beware.

Two reviews in one: A Little History of Mathematics

I submitted my review of this book to Teach Secondary magazine, an educational magazine in the UK. The first review below is what the magazine published. The second one is what I actually wrote!

Are we in, or entering, a post-literate society?

I know that there are people who think that Tik-Tok videos and other (very) short-form content is a kind of literacy that’s on a par with reading, but I have my doubts.
