Delighted to represent #EducationScotland at this evening’s Consular Corps reception hosted by Scotland’s First Minister at the Edinburgh International Hub. The Consular Corps in Scotland is the largest in the UK, representing over 60 countries and international organisations.

Delighted to have had the opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities of Music education in Scotland (including progress on the CIC) with @ScotGovFM and the @JennyGilruth @AngusRobertson along with a wide range of our stakeholders including @MusicEducatio10 at St Andrew’s House today.

Absolutely thrilled to have been involved in innovating Scotland’s ex arts curriculum by launching the Film and Screen curriculum. Not only is this attracting international recognition, but has also become a good news story for Scottish education. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Incorporating drawing, singing, and dancing into a lesson isn’t just fun and games. 🖍️🎶💃 A growing number of studies reveal the neural underpinning of using your body to learn. #EdResearch #EduSky

Delighted to support the launch of this year’s festival at the Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh today. Audiences are in for a real treat.

Sad to hear the news of the passing of Jack Vettriano today. He made such an impact on the cultural life of Scotland and I am proud to have owned a number of his prints over the years.

Delighted to be supporting the First Minister’s visit to Plockton High School’s National Centre for Traditional Music to showcase the work of Scotland’s #CentresofExcellence. Great discussion on how #Trad Music in Scotland showcases our identity and culture. The young people were just phenomenal.

“These films are masterpieces,” Leo, Pr6. Couldn’t have put it better myself. Enjoying celebrating the CYP’s work as part of the Film & Screen curriculum at the DCA. Love too seeing the impact of the professional learning of the Film & Screen Summer School on teachers. Great way to finish the week.
