Improvements to free school meal access are welcome, says @tom-campbell.bsky.social – but internal work at his trust shows there is a lot more to do to make the system benefit more families, and schools

What a compelling share from @tom-campbell.bsky.social about leadership rooted in lived experience - so incredibly candid. There's integrity in the vulnerability & a profound sense of ambition to lead well from a compassionate space, continuously learn and be accountable.

Startling honesty about his life and his view of the system from @tom-campbell.bsky.social
