What a great day it was yesterday at the @stepupnetwork.bsky.social London Lead Meet delivering two workshops on the case for leading #antiracism work in schools over simply a broad notion of #EDI or #inclusion. Great to meet some of my online s/heroes @msybibi.bsky.social Ziggy Moore, Mubina Husain

A delight to present at the Midlands Education Leaders event this morning with a focus on reducing inequality. I shared three priorities on school improvement: behaviour, wellbeing and Teaching and Learning. Thank you to @stepupnetwork.bsky.social & team for inviting me to speak.
