All set for the last of the ASP/IDSR training days hosted by SIL for schools in Liverpool and the wider city region. Had to put on extra days as it was fully booked. Not had to invoke the tissues yet, but there is always time.

As impressed as I am with myself for having (just) sufficient eyesight and manual dexterity to make it, I’m completely in awe of the folk who design these things. The construction of the rest of the museum was hijacked by my daughter. She graciously left me Dippy.

Last chance to submit your views on curriculum and assessment.

We’ve already heard a wonderfully rich and diverse range of views from professionals, pupils, parents, employers and wider stakeholders.

It’s a conversation that everyone’s invited to.
