Delighted to be part of the Playful Learning Association CATE Award - this team are exceptional, inspiring and create transformational education experiences - well done team and everyone else who contributes so amazingly to our playful community!

We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who turned up unprompted first thing this morning to assist our clean-up operation. They embody the real values of Teesside as opposed to those intent on causing disruption and division within our communities. Our core business, transforming lives and economies through education, continues as usual, and we continue to work with our community partners to protect and celebrate our values. (2 of 2)

Our thoughts are with @Liverpoollib. Spellow Hub Library, opened last year as the 'library of the future' to support local people get education and routes into work was set on fire amid scenes of violent disorder in north Liverpool. liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…

Last night’s shocking scenes do not represent the welcoming city we are proud to be a part of; a community with a shared and growing ambition to do its best for everyone who lives, works and studies here.

Last night is not what the people of Sunderland are all about. This, is what the people of Sunderland are all about. Thank you to every single person who is helping with the clean up today♥️

Some people want to neck a load of cider, do some dogshit coke in the toilets, take their shirt off and stomp through a town centre with a few hundred of their mates breaking things, sucker-punching people & terrifying minorities. That’s as complicated as their ‘concerns’ get.
