@BullersBoysPE @PEScholar Pleasure! I love the way your trust sets aside time to get subject leaders together and how you lead it to ensure all schools feel listened too- it makes a real difference. Hope there was something useful in there for everyone.

Today I had the privilege of leading a webinar for @BathSpaUni PGCE students focused on mental wellbeing in their teaching careers. Each colleague developed a personalised self-care wellbeing toolkit to help them return to homeostasis when facing the inevitable rollercoaster of school life.🎢 They are a brilliant group — passionate, reflective, and ready to make a difference. Wishing them all the best in their journeys ahead 💛🧠💪 #PGCE #TeacherWellbeing #PolyvagalTheory #SelfCareToolkit #TraumaInformedPractice #RISEUp @LizDurdenMyers

Incredibly happy news tonight as we learnt we’ve retained our @MichelinGuideUK Bib Gourmand. “Cooking comes from the heart and dishes are rustic, assured and flavour-packed.” Eight and a half years in and we never take any of this for granted.

Fantastic to be co-hosting with @ICE_kendal the heads of PE conference in Oxford. @WillSwaithes @PhilCocks1 Kiera Wylie and Simon Scarborough
