I’m proud to work in the third sector. Lots of charities do amazing things. But some charities use their status to propagate dangerous and illegal ideals. Let’s project women and girls from this.
Female subordination. Sexist 'modesty' codes. Violence against women.

Our new report 'Mission and Misogyny' reveals that many registered charities are promoting these ideas - all under the cloak of 'advancing religion'.

I’ve visited @kielderobservatory.bsky.social and @herstmonceuxobs.bsky.social this summer. Have I been to the most northern and most southern observatories in England?

Day 1 of my new role at @meimaths.bsky.social. Have just been made a ‘enjoy your first day’ breakfast by #boy2. Nothing better to kick off a new job than coffee, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate and a brioche. To be eaten with a spoon.

Outside of my day job I was very pleased to be asked to be involved in evaluating the hashtag#PlanetPossibility consortium of grassroots charities, universities, and education partners across the UK. Over three years this consortium reached nearly 95,000 people.

Beyond excited to be at @kielderobservatory.bsky.social. Pray for some cloud breaks!

@meimaths.bsky.social conference 2025 extra special since I will be joining the organisation at their first Chief Learning Officer in September.
Leaving NCETM will be hard but evaluation is in VERY capable hands and that the two organisations are linked by shared vision and partnership working. 1/n

Over the last couple of months I have been watching
- Expertly designed and led PD
- With out-of-field maths teachers 'growing' their identity as mathematician,
- Become even better at teaching students who need maths teachers the most.

So important that these programmes externally evaluated. (1/n)

In #MathsToday I taught a y7 class that I don't normally teach, and filmed them doing some Fluency tasks using double number lines from @ncetm.bsky.social Secondary. They were a pleasure and showed some great insights.
