About
Rescue Our Schools is a grassroots campaign to rescue students, staff and parents from a broken education system.
Here’s the the latest in our collection of RoS voices, presented by one of our youngest activists, speaking up for the students who’ve missed out on so much learning because of Covid.
OUR SIX GOALS
Put young people’s mental health at the heart of education at every stage.
Ditch the endless high-stakes testing and develop a more sophisticated assessment system which does more than just measure knowledge recall. Stop baseline testing of four-year-olds, SATs and GCSEs and develop a deeper record of achievement at 18.
A broad, creative, climate-aware, properly-funded curriculum which allows all young people to flourish – whatever their personal story – and celebrates their differences. When students feel their learning matters, good behaviour and achievement follow. If schools worked for all students, why would we need selective schools?
Independent oversight of academy schools and all school admissions, ensuring schools are accountable to their communities and taxpayers and fully inclusive.
Reform Ofsted so it supports schools to improve instead of punishing them – and banish league tables.
Invest in lifelong learning to reengage students cast aside by the pandemic, and to give everyone the chance to learn new skills throughout their lives.
