📚 Pile of books on your list, but not in the mood to read them? Our #CambridgeDictionary #NewWords blog defines 'mood reading' as a method of choosing books to read based on the way you feel at the time, rather than reading books in a fixed order. It reflects a more flexible approach to choosing what to read and shows how emotions often guide those choices. Should ‘mood reading’ be added to the #dictionary? 🤔 🔗 Have your say and explore more new words here: https://cambrid.ge/3KFvYla

“We can aspire to, and achieve, a better secondary education” – Myles McGinley. “More can be done at Key Stage 3 to head off failure at 16. And we can and must do so while protecting rigour.” Today, Cambridge OCR partnered with the Education Policy Institute (EPI) for a lively panel discussion on curriculum reform at the #ConservativePartyConference. Joining Cambridge’s Myles McGinley on the panel of experts was Charles Clarke, former Education Secretary; Baroness Amanda Spielman, former Chief Ofsted Inspector; Mike Crowhurst, Director of Education & Skills at Public First; Kat Howard, Executive School Improvement Lead (Secondary) at the Windsor Academy Trust; and Natalie Perera, Chief Executive of EPI.
