History is made. The career Grand Slam is complete.

The way Rory McIlroy just slayed his white whale is a microcosm for his career. Jaw-dropping natural ability. Exhilarating runs of genius. Torturous setbacks. And he just keeps coming back. A Masters champion. The career Grand Slam. The greatest player of his generation.

@jon_severs @EmathsUK Congratulations, Mark!

A slightly belated congratulations to @EmathsUK on this appointment! Looking forward to seeing what you do Mark! tes.com/magazine/news/…

I would say that TDaPE is *THE* premier conference series for primary professional development in the country right now. Great to see they're going to Manchester later this month - and @Carousel_Learn will be there...

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply *retweet* this tweet for your chance to win. I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

On the train back from a great day exploring data and AI focussed solutions at #BettUK2025. I’m excited to spend time debriefing with the team over the coming days!

Do I know anyone keen to take on a headship in East Sussex?! I am teaching here two days a week this year alongside my MAT role and we need a new headteacher!

I spent a great day at #TDaPELondon yesterday where I was fortunate enough to talk about the successes we’ve had collaborating at scale at @KiteAcademyMAT. Thanks to @Kieran_M_Ed for organising a great event for a great cause.

We’re looking for great people to join our team and help ensure that all children can enjoy lives of choice and opportunity. You’ll get the chance to work with brilliant people in a region to improve the coherence of support families and kids receive. reachfoundation.uk/join

@Mr_Crome @Doug_Lemov I am looking forward to hearing if/how Palace comes up in the conversation!

Tonight I am working on The Power of Teams Podcast....Chapter 10 - Team Meetings Really proud of this chapter - research, practical strategies, and an amazing case study from @Doug_Lemov, who joins me for an interview all about how to improve meetings. AND he's a Palace fan!

If you're interested in the collaborative mechanics powering our trust-wide improvement model then make sure you grab a seat when @PrimaryMrT talks at #TDaPELondon

A great morning facilitating our SCITT centre-based training focusing on pupil motivation and attention. I am looking forward to seeing how our trainees implement @PepsMccrea's key ideas & core drivers into their practice while increasing pupil thinking and participation ratios.
