In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Miles Berry, a leading voice in education, computing, and teacher training. They dive into the evolving role of technology in schools, questioning whether the current teacher training framework is fit for purpose and exploring how AI, computing, and digital skills should shape the future curriculum.
📌 Key Topics Discussed:
✅ The gap in technology training for new teachers and upcoming changes
✅ How curriculum and assessment need to evolve for a digital-first world
✅ The role of computing in education—should it be a core subject?
✅ The impact of high-stakes testing and its effect on curriculum innovation
✅ How Ofsted and policymakers influence (or hinder) tech adoption in schools
🚀 Miles shares his vision for rethinking GCSE computing, making tech education accessible and equitable for all students, and why schools should have more freedom to innovate.

"Curiosity in Computing"
"Schools should do so much more: empowering and motivating pupils to learn things for themselves, rather than just listening attentively to what is taught." - Absolutely!

We had our Year 6 Open Evening tonight at Michaela.
We normally have only nearby inner-city families visiting.
Tonight, there were LOADS of private school kids from far.
So bizarre.
We are seeing the effect of VAT costs to private schools in real time.

We're thrilled that Ofqual has responded to our community about harsh grading in GCSE Computer Science.
Changes for this year's students mean fairer assessments. Thanks to all who contributed to this positive outcome! hubs.ly/Q02H5mCN0

UK voters were asked whether they wanted to change our parliamentary election system in a 2011 referendum and overwhelmingly opted to stick with first-past-the-post; are you suggesting we should ask again in case they've changed their minds?
