Do you know someone in the East of England who would make a great headteacher? Do they want to join a growing network committed to eradicating educational disadvantage? Would they benefit from an intensive year of development with a cohort of leaders? Ask them to join our info webinar TOMORROW

It was wonderful to talk to some fantastic leaders working in the east of England yesterday. We have another info webinar tonight at 18:00. Please do share with your networks in the east of England!

It is vital that we use the shift towards #Oracy rich to support our young people to be more themselves and more prepared for the radical changes in the modern world...

It's so important that we don't miss the opportunity to maximise the impact of an #oracy rich education... Humans ready to be their authentic selves in a better future...

🙏🏼New Blog... The importance of dialogue over debate. In an increasingly polarised world, we all need to actively search for the middle way. higginsoncreativeeducation.com/blog/rachel/...

A wonderful blog post to read and reread. Yes, pre-requisite meaning not just knowledge (as in straight retrieval).

Christian says everything I understand to be true, better. Exceptional blog...

"If we take knowledge = understanding too seriously, if we ignore the idea of meaning, and if we consider knowledge only in a quantitative sense, then this becomes understanding in our classrooms."

In Birmingham for a keynote to James Brindley Schools. Beautiful sunrise 🙏🏼

New post: Assessing the foundation subjects in primary open.substack.com/pub/marymyat...

One of the many reasons why @marymyatt.bsky.social is simply brilliant is because she makes sense of the things that have become so unnecessarily complicated. A beautiful piece offering clarity around meaningful assessment of the foundation subjects ✨✨
