Not sure 400 is right number (suggests an average trust size of 40-50 schools depending how many maintained schools convert), but all @markmccourt.bsky.social's arguments are important. Definitely need this debate & more effort to ensuring community connections are valued by MATs

“it is OK to be nervous. In fact, it is often good to be nervous. It is the sign of a life being lived. It is an indication that you are about to grow into something more than you were yesterday.”

"Just as bones grow stronger when stressed and the immune system matures through exposure to pathogens, so too do character, judgment, and resilience deepen when tested." Am important message from @markmccourt.bsky.social
