This evening’s Iftar was a beautiful reminder of the strength and warmth of our community. 🌙 It was wonderful to share this special time with families from across Lancot, breaking fast together and celebrating the spirit of Ramadan - unity, generosity and togetherness.

@TeachLeadAAli Really interesting read Amjad. I welcome the SEND investment- crikey it is definitely in need! What matters is how it lands in schools: tiered CPD, time to implement, coaching and training are spot on! Ambition is there- impact will depend on practice. Thank you for sharing this
