Privileged to be CEO at Palladian Academy Trust. Wife, human & whippet mum, nana, crocheter 🧶, ukulele player (in any order!), Yorkshire Lass. All views my own.
1/2 After 4 and a half amazing years, I will be moving to a new role in January as Director of Education for Southampton City Council- an exciting new role & professional challenge.
I am so proud of the transformation at Palladian and I hand over the baton of CEO with pride and joy….

Today we are delighted that Westbury Leigh Primary School officially joins Palladian Academy Trust! It’s taken a while to get here but it’s great to finally welcome them to our Trust family of schools 🙏

Just before tomorrow begins - an important message:

Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a phenomenal result that they deserve to be proud of. Let’s be a bit more responsible in our language.

I am currently writing a chapter for a new leadership book commissioned by the PTI. Joining @bsky.app has cemented my conviction that as teachers we become agents of change when we are inspired to learn from one another. My writing is fuelled by a vision of hope. Hurrah!

Is it wrong that one of the things making me sad about moving from Twitter is that there will no #SATsTestChen? 😂
