Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made a short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map.

Our CEO @tom-campbell.bsky.social sharing the development of our new People Strategy on day 2 of our Leadership Conference. An exciting time to be a part of E-ACT - putting our people first! #teamspirit

*Attention all @insighthq.bsky.social schools* The new cohort attendance report is now available in the report menu. It’s ace!

Check it out and let us know what you think.

Not Pizza and cookies though… 😉

This is an excellent question with some really insightful responses, I’m now making more lists of things to read and ponder.

For me, it’s not so much one specific piece of research but engaging with the wider education community through Twitter opened my eyes and changed my practice forever!

Early shout out for @jonhutchinson.bsky.social from @adamjames317.bsky.social.

Really interesting to hear Adam’s experiences of working in an all through school and how to bridge the gap between primary and secondary. #rED24

Hope it goes well, gutted I can’t be there this year. I shall be following on here 👀

Great day yesterday, working with fabulous colleagues on our Primary Strategy for school improvement. #WeAreEACT @martinfitzuk.bsky.social
