This week, we discuss Sats and the impact the tests have on primary school pupils. As Sats come to an end, GCSEs season begins, and we talk about the introduction of the grade 9-1 GCSEs, and the social media backlash many exam boards now face.
We also talk about the use of emojis in the classroom – pupils love them, but do teachers? And is there any hard proof of their effect on pupils' learning?
Tune in and enjoy.
