I will be on Liverpool City Talk Radio on Wednesday 19 November at about 9.25 am, to discuss AQA's ban of a Gary Glitter song from its music syllabus following complaints by concerned individuals and children's charities. AQA also issued an apology for causing offence.

The ban follows AQA's removal of the poem Education for Leisure from its GCSE English Literature syllabus after an exam invigilator complained that the poem sent 'the wrong message' on knife crime.

You can sign the Hands Off Poetry! petition to protest against AQA's cavalier treatment of the school curriculum, teachers and students, and assert our right to have a say on the content of our children's education.
