Absolutely, and I would not suggest otherwise. My question is whether there are opportunities when we look at the network of schools, for instance. This is the start of something that is about research and seeing what works, as I understand it. Are there opportunities to expand into some areas of learning that had not existed previously, such as alternative modes of education that might show us an alternative way? Rather than having continuous assessment, could there be an element of self-assessment whereby the challenges people want for themselves would be set with their teachers as opposed to by their teachers? Might it be of benefit if we examined bringing some of those ideas at an early stage into the network of schools?
