New book day! Excited to dig into these important and influential books. Started with Education, Disability and Social Policy which is already giving plenty of food for thought. #SEND #Policy

Really interesting! Is there more on what the characteristics of each subcategory are?
Are those who are more senior in organisations more likely to be Undogmatic or Quiet? Tricky to know if their attitudes towards organisational hierarchy is linked to their relative position IN the org hierarchy.

An aside, but terrible use of the word "exclude" from the Telegraph here. School 'exclusion' is a specific thing. And what are they going to do? Tackle the parent to the ground and rip the admissions form out of their hand? You can't stop someone applying to a school.

To continue with LSU as an example (no other reason than I went there), they were not oversubscribed last year. So if all applications they had were from non-Catholic pupils, they would have been offered places.

Honoured to have The Mountain nominated for Best International Comedy in the New Filmmakers LA awards. Hugely competitive field, and an honour to be mentioned in the same breath as others in the category.
Fingers firmly crossed!
