People ask me why I believe in a Republic. This is why. We continue to live in a feudal society where obscenely rich people use philanthropy to mask their greed.
EXCL: Scores of Prince William's rental properties fail to meet minimum legal energy efficiency standards for landlords. Some of his tenants at risk of fuel poverty, living in hard to heat homes riddled with damp and black mould. With @C4Dispatches mirror.co.uk/news/royals/sca…

Could your #CoreMaths class work out why it's only 52 grandchildren? Really nice bit of maths in a quite worrying statistic!
UK Total Fertility Rate has fallen to 1.44 children per woman, the lowest on record. This means a group of 100 people in Britain today can expect to have just 52 grandchildren between them. This is quite simply an economic catastrophe. We must turn our attention to it.

This looks awesome!
As you probably know, I love Christmas! In addition to my usual A-Level maths calculated colouring I will also have a Further Maths advent calendar! Will likely release the template mid November as it requires cutting and sticking.

Today I turned 28 YEARS OLD. Which means 12 YEARS AGO I was on Educating Yorkshire. Over the years, teachers have helped me to push forward in all things I doubted myself I could achieve. Teachers gave me more than an education - they gave me a future. I will forever be grateful.

Happy new term to all those back this week! Re-sharing this in case anyone has a Y13 student returning after the summer who has decided to apply for a university course that needs an admissions test 😊
I've made a padlet for our students who are preparing for university admissions tests (MAT, TMUA, STEP, PAT, ESAT, AEA) with links to websites and resources. Feel free to share. Please do alert me to any errors/updates, and any other resources I can add! padlet.com/ECR_Maths/admissi…

As a back to school present, I have uploaded the solutions to the Year 12 revision sheets on my website. mrsouthernmaths.wordpress.co… While you're there, if you fancy buying the book or recommending it to a friend, that would be lovely!
