Excited (and nervous!) to be joining Holy Cross academies, in Coventry, for their mission day focusing on how we protect our planet for future generations.

Children and young people tell us loudly that this matters to them - great to be thinking today with over 400 teachers!

Happy Samhain to all those celebrating tonight - reflecting on those who have come before, what we've learnt from them. Prepping for the dark winter ahead. 🍁🍂🪾🌙

And...happy Halloween! 🎃👻🎊

One of my fave sessions to deliver for our Bristol TEPs this afternoon.

Evidence-based practice.

If you're interested in my ramblings about this I recorded an episode with @psychbites.bsky.social team a while ago

A turn of the wheel with the Autumn Equinox today 🌗☀️

A time of balance to reflect on your harvest - what you have worked hard to grow, develop and achieve?

Also a time to consider what you'll let go ahead of the coming winter, where we consolidate our energies.

What are your equinox reflections?

Today will involve:

🛋️The sofa
☕Tea
📖Reading
😴Snoozing

...and then tomorrow / next week I'll get to processing yesterday and replying to the so many fantastic and wonderful comments about yesterday.

Hey @gwr.com - can you please look to turn the volume for announcements down on your Bristol trains (Temple Meads to Avonmouth line etc.) the announcements reach 86 decibels - in a confined space it's not necessary and definitely uncomfortable

Just a request for TEP followers

One of our best ways at edpsy of sharing with your cohorts...is through you!

TEP tickets to our festival are only £20 and we'd love to see as many of you there as possible. If you could share this with your groups...amazing 🙏🌟

From September edpsy is going to look and feel different and we can't wait. We're ready to step into our space, unapologetically.

This means a stronger focus on being a vibrant, uplifting, energising space. Leaning into our drive towards collaboration, inclusion and proactive advocacy.

A thought provoking day at the DfE considering the future of education & schooling in the context of the polycrisis

The enormity of these interlinked crises can often feel overwhelming - to consider these with passionate and knowledgeable colleagues was a privilege

Absolutely fabulous, inspiring, joyful day with our year 1 trainees presenting the culmination of 6 months research work with local authority partners today - all in a stunning building!

What a view for a Monday morning 🤩

1. No s**t...?!
2. As if it's limited to the "far right"
3. As if The Guardian, as an example, hasn't facilitated this within our own context
4. No mention of Christian fundamentalism / Christian nationalism in the article

Absolutely a "canary in the mine"

A great way to end this year's visit to the #HayFestival, with Diane Abbott - what a life!
