It’s the most important thing. But, tbh, some of those jumping on the bandwagon are just mimicking the SOS for Education Bridget who used the phrase recently. It goes for teachers too, “belonging” in a school is magic. I stayed at mine for 27 years because of that!

Such a happy day on Friday, working with secondary school art teachers in Birmingham. Subject specific CPD is essential and should be mandatory! #moreARTnotless
