A great day of CPD at

with
@marcrowland73.bsky.social
working with our ‘Tackling disadvantage’ co-construction working group. Great input from Marc and so important to have time to reflect on what we do and what we can tweak and do better.

Another great group call tonight with other Trust leaders also on the

#CCLcohort3
course. So useful to discuss plans and reflections on implementation and get feedback and ideas too. If you are a school or trust leader of CPD I recommend the
#CCL
course next year ✅

I don't generally go nuts for learning from leaders in other domains, but I would strongly recommend Gareth Southgate's Dimbleby Lecture. I found what he said about creating the right culture spot on and quite moving. He brings together when so many are keen to divide.
