Fantastic session from @tombennett71 on equitable approaches to behaviour and creating inclusive trust cultures!

Speechless at the inspirational words of Chris Lubbe, fantastic food for thought and a call to action for all of us to reflect on!

Amazing session from @benniekara founder of #DiverseEd on diversity in our approaches to education and curriculum!

Yesterday, I had the honour of speaking at the @PathfinderTSH headteachers event. Thank you for the incredible work you do by serving through the medium of education. I'm sure that at times it must feel lonely. You are not alone, we really appreciate you #IamBecauseOfYou #Ubuntu

Meeting @Sawubona_Chris, hearing his experience of apartheid & of being Nelson Mandela's bodyguard, was so humbling. Chris reminded us 'diversity is where you're invited to the party, inclusion is where you're asked to dance'. I want our schools to invite hearts & minds to dance.

Hope the first day back went well for everyone! This caught my eye at Dublin Airport when we flew home on Sunday.....

Think I've invented a new genre of cooking. Stealth cooking. Best employed when you have 2 dogs & 1 toddler to distract whilst making delicious baked goods for your poorly husband. Mainly thanks to Octonauts really!

Hope everyone had a great results day, however it turned out, welcome to a beautiful new day :)

@mrawolfe Oh bless you, I hope everything is better today!

Pic #1 Where we should be by now ✈️ 🇨🇦 ☀️ Pic #2 Where we ACTUALLY are at midnight, stuck in a CRAZY LONG taxi queue at Heathrow after our flight got cancelled 😢

Cleaning out my desk drawers at work. Well that was a crazy time wasn't it!

@KayShepherd12 @DGSAcademy @ForestWaySchool @Ambition_Inst Very excited that colleagues in our region will be benefitting from this too!

An amazing adaptation to our core ECF offer by absolutely brilliant facilitators from @DGSAcademy and @ForestWaySchool. We are committed to the ECF being meaningful and impactful to every new teacher regardless of age range or setting. @Ambition_Inst

You made it! Well done everyone, we got there! Breathe, rest and recharge, we re going to need it!

The chillers failed at our local shop, thankfully we managed to help them out by consuming some of the freezer stock (magnum vegan almond ice creams!), you know, just to help out obviously 🙄 hope you've all stayed well today

Lively conference yesterday at @PathfinderTSH for new Year 1 ECT mentors starting out with the @Ambition_Inst ECF programme in September. Thank you for joining in so enthusiastically! #ECF

How impressed with the new @PathfinderTSH Year 1 Mentors!?! Melting temperatures & still on the ball, engaged & ready for some quality deliberate practice! Couldn't ask for better @Ambition_Inst 💖
