Do you know someone in the East of England who would make a great headteacher?
Do they want to join a growing network committed to eradicating educational disadvantage?
Would they benefit from an intensive year of development with a cohort of leaders?
Ask them to join our info webinar TOMORROW

Over-inflation of the GenAI bubble was surely inevitable. Watching hype merchants either holding their nose over the smelly outputs of some models, or deliberately seeking to plough through with self-interest and positivity, feels familiar. Good use cases will settle out, but the world hasn't tilted

It's great to see BlueSky really taking off, with lots of new follows in recent days.
Having left Twitter soon after Musk arrived, I've fallen out of the habit (and become a little LinkedIn dependent).
Hoping the Twitter-of-old atmos is back in BlueSky, and I can get back on the horse.
