Thank you to the 40 professors around the world who shared their pathway to professorship. We created this book to support academics who are passionate about researching & teaching their subject. The choices they make through their career can limit or improve their chances of a professorship.

Ofsted inspections shouldn’t make teachers feel their jobs are at risk. We need a system that supports, not intimidates. #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform

I'm not going to do the "it's the big news of the day" shtick but - the government did something important today. A new ministerial code, making real positive changes to the system for upholding standards

I just wonder how those with religious beliefs who voted Trump square supporting someone who stirs up hate with the Golden Rule underpinning all religions: treat others as you wish to be treated.
