Great inset day working with the fab maths team at Priory exploring ‘I do, we do, you do’ with @walkthrus.bsky.social. Some seriously challenging maths going on!

Fantastic evening at Nailsea Tithe Barn exploring the story of the writing of Amazing Grace, slavery and abolition as part of #BlackHistoryMonth. The performance of ‘Grace Will Lead Us Home’ is both beautiful and thought provoking.

Great day in London today with @teacherhead.bsky.social and @mattteachcoach.bsky.social. Really inspiring to work with the amazing @walkthrus.bsky.social team. Feeling really fired up about leading training and supporting schools to implement WalkThrus with precision.

Fantastic day working with great TPLT colleagues at Burnham Infant School and Berrow Little Learners Preschool. A joy to see effective Cold Calling with 2 and 3 year olds! Children miming putting on their thinking caps for thinking time is such a wonderful adaptation.

Lovely to be at St. Anne’s Church Academy today working with amazing teachers on instructional coaching with @walkthrus.bsky.social

I believe that Holocaust education is one of the most important responsibilities I have have as a history teacher and one of the most significant ways I can make a difference. #HMD2025 #ForABetterFuture
