Great morning turning the tables on @johndickenssw.bsky.social asking him about all things education news. Gorgeous and thought-provoking two days as always, with one last glimpse of the speakers area on the way out until next year! #EducationFest

At the @cstvoice.bsky.social comms summit? Come see Maddy and I on our stand and collect one of our handy calendars- they’re going fast! I’ll also be speaking today on communicating impact and comms 101!

What a great bunch of trusts in Kent- really enjoyed today’s session and the venue wasn’t bad either!

We're now on Bluesky @plmr.education and @plmr.co.uk!

Really enjoyed recording this episode of the @cstvoice.bsky.social podcast produced by @plmrltd.bsky.social out now! @steverollett.bsky.social, Cathie Paine from REAch2 & I look at early years- the importance, key challenges & things for Labour to consider. Listen now: spoti.fi/3XYhVeB

Two fab panels today- first, HE financial sustainability (Abtisam Mohamed MP/APPGs for unis and intl students, Richard Black of Liverpool Uni, James Coe of Wonkhe and Viv Stern of UUK)

And we’re off- our first panel in the PLMR Policy Hub starts at 2pm, diving into the issues with higher education financial sustainability. Excellent way to kick off a packed few days here!

Who else is gearing up for Labour Conference? Fancy a coffee, let me know! Also hosting or chairing lots of panels including HE financial sustainability, teacher workforce & rediscovering the joy of teaching - more details next week but come see us in our PLMR Policy Hub inside the secure zone!
