Tes Podcast: Sats Plastic & Three Year Gcses

Join the Tes team, as we discuss the plastic waste produced by Sats and what we can do about it. The team also talk about three-year GCSEs: do they help pupils to learn a subject in depth or are schools just narrowing the curriculum and trying to hothouse young people for their exams?

We also discuss the death of the much-loved children’s writer, Judith Kerr. Tes reporter Adi Bloom reminisces about the time she met and profiled the author of The Tiger Who Came to Tea.

Tune in and enjoy.
