I met some students on a bus...deciding whether or not to choose geography GCSE. I listened to them. One student said 'I wish we could have a say in what we learn in subjects like #geography,' I said GCSE and A level kick start your thinking - later there's so much more.

... I could look into their blue eyes and see that they regarded me as the same (Brothers), because their faith in One God (Allah) had actually removed “white” from their mind, which automatically changed their attitude and their behavior (towards) people of other colors."

We were delighted to have @IramSammar address our conference last week. Her valuable knowledge and insights about the teaching of geography provoked lots of ideas for our anti-racist education work going forward. We look forward to collaborating with Iram in the future.

School improvement is not about perfection — it’s about progress, courage, and the determination to keep moving forward, even when it’s tough. Over the past few years, I’ve learned that meaningful change in schools doesn’t come from chasing perfection or quick wins. It comes from really honest conversations, consistent reflection, and a relentless focus on what matters most — our children. The path isn’t always smooth. There are tough days, hard truths, and moments when the mountain feels steep. But with the right people around you — those who challenge, support, and never lose sight of the bigger picture — real, lasting improvement happens. #SchoolImprovement #Leadership #EducationMatters #AuthenticLeadership #ProgressNotPerfection
