We are so glad to be here at @WellspringAT @TheNextDecadeUK @PosRegard #TheNextDecade2025! I’ve already met so many interesting people. I’d love to meet more. Come and see us @WholeEducation in the main auditorium for a chat.
The day has arrived & how amazing to see colleagues arriving. Today we will see how we can unify & be the positive disruptors for our children & young people as they lead into the next decade & beyond. #TheNextDecade2025 @WellspringAT @TheNextDecadeUK @PosRegard @WholeEducation

Adventure time. It’s taken all of my bravery to make this trip because I’m not that keen on flying. Making sure my life is not limited by a lack of courage!

On my way home from my first ever @researchED1 event #rED24. Really glad to have been able to talk #accountability and #CPDL with @PhilippaCcuree and @crispy_bart. Exploring the possibilities of making evaluation part of staff training rather than part of accountability.

#rED24 @Samfr recognizing that despite coalition good intentions, in response to real challenges, academy programme was a mistake. Impossible for central govt to provide support & leadership to so many schools. Indeed. Inevitably led to reductive & accountancy driven system.
