Glad to launch the @crownhousepub.bsky.social podcast yesterday with @realdavidcameron.bsky.social on my book The Making of an Educator. Lots here about writing, change, leadership, the onset of populism in the 80s, and a bit about 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 too. @andybuckleadership.bsky.social @schoolsweek.bsky.social

Congrats to all in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 who got good A-level results today. If you didn't, bear in mind I had to retake mine due to family struggles & converted my History from an E to an A.
