Thank you to the team at Totteridge Academy for hosting a lot of visitors including me yesterday. Hearing the transformation over the last 5 years was inspirational and the impact upon the outcomes for disadvantaged students and their admission pledge is my kind of school.

Seeing how trusts implement IC at scale; hearing an optimistic chat from @saysmiss.bsky.social, @samfr.bsky.social; and eating popcorn with @alexgingell.bsky.social and Ollie Lovell whilst watching model @priteshraichura.bsky.social - the inaugural @steplab.bsky.social conference was a blast.

Interesting wishlist from @frankwnorris.bsky.social and @jonnyuttley.bsky.social:
- add contextual factors to Progress 8
- sort out school admissions
- stop Key Stage 3 being narrowed / shortened

Of all the books I've read this year, @joshpd.bsky.social 's 'Responsive Coaching' has been the best. Thought-provoking, research-informed and actionable, it is a must for anyone linked to PD.

So sad about this. @teacherdevtrust.bsky.social is a brilliant organisation. It will continue to do great work and have impact but it’s a loss to this bit of the system
