It seems almost impossible that this could happen now. The politics of personality have crept in over the politics of policy and there’s an absence of mutual respect even when people disagree.

“Some may belittle politics but we know it is where people stand tall. I know it has its many harsh contentions, it is still the arena which sets the heart beating fast”

Ditching Differentiation?
"It’s fair to say that the term ‘differentiation’ has had its day in education (or at least in England). At one point, it was considered to be an integral element of lesson planning, design and delivery to ensure all learners were involved and could succeed.
Adaptive teaching has gained interest and attention within the profession, but with some teachers understandably asking: is this the new differentiation? Is adaptive teaching simply a new label for an old approach?"

Spending time in the natural world provides a sense of balance and belonging. For young people, access to nature is so important for helping to build confidence, self-belief, life skills, and a sense of perspective. That is why organisations like @scouts are so important. #SkillsForLife

Great to welcome over 150 wonderful educators to our Milnthorpe Consortium Conference today. Working together to give every child the very best education across @WandFCouncil looking forward to @dave_mcpartlin joining us later. #BackToSchool
As Scouts, we bring young people together to celebrate our differences and recognise that we all have more in common than what divides us. Scouts chose hope, not hate. Violence and thuggery has no place in our society.
I have been horrified at the unrest and violence taking place across towns and cities. As a Scout, we bring people and communities together. We choose hope not hate.

Excited to have been appointed as the substantive Chair of @WandFCouncil Local Alliance of System Leaders- the body of all nursery, primary and secondary school and academy leaders working to unlock the potential within our school system and to raise standards for all.
Great to work with such talented trainee teachers today.
Learning outside the classroom culminated in s’mores and marshmallows for the primary trainees and apprentices today!
Thanks to @CJDewar for delivering a brilliant day.
