In our latest How I Lead interview, @reach2trust.bsky.social CEO Cathie Paine talks about why she resists the 'obligation' to talk about balancing leadership and motherhood, and why she sees herself as a 'wandering encourager' ⬇️

As Sats week begins, @reach2trust.bsky.social education director Andrew Rigby outlines why the tests fail to capture the real depth and breadth of children’s achievements
