A huge question for #PersonalDevelopment Leads; how are you addressing the PD needs of global majority students?

Brilliant to have Wayne from Leeds Cuty Academy joining us at #PDConf25 to discuss #diversity in the PD curriculum

Possibly our favourite ever #highperformance episode from Prof. Steve Peters

DfE outlines plans for new regional improvement teams
