I’m at the University of Nottingham today for the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Noys’ Impact Regional Conference.

Some great speakers lined up and hoping for some useful takeaways to inform our approaches in school.

Pride Park is work for today attending Day 3 of a course led by Carr Manor School and following an ‘immersion day’ at their school up in Leeds.

Another day of all things inclusion and reflecting on what our setting could learn at a time of significant evolution.

This was the journey for Alperton Community School in establishing their AP.

As we look to establish our own onsite AP in our setting it’s reassuring to see that we are already having lots of these conversations too.

I’ve avoided entering the education space of social media thus far but after a great day at #rEDBrum I’m taking the plunge!
