Imagine if every school had a professional nutritionist working for their community …

How would it impact on
- the health & wellbeing of every child?
- their learning and outcomes?
- our collective productivity?
- our quality of life and longevity?
- NHS cost & efficiency

It’s Freedom Day in South Africa. We celebrate the anniversary of our first free elections on 25th April 1994 after more than 300 years of oppression, brutality, apartheid and rule by our colonisers.

I hope one day soon the people of Palestine will be celebrating their Freedom Day too

If we lived in a kinder and more just world, today #StephenLawrence would be a successful 50 year old architect, living a comfortable life. Sadly on 2nd April 1993 his dreams were destroyed in a horrific racial attack at a bus stop in Eltham.

Last Thursday, I lost a former colleague to sepsis. She was dedicated, hardworking & for 25yrs put her pupils first

And now, she’s gone. She never got time for herself. Never got to enjoy the pension she paid into.

Prioritise taking care of yourself. Life won’t wait

The new report card (below) for schools in England demonstrates the lack of system understanding by both Ofsted and the government. It replaces a single judgement on schools with a host of metrics. As a result, schools will now focus on a series of data sets which will entail more tracking,

As we enter a New Year I always remember what Mrs Brown says - that in London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in.

I think she must be right - because although I don’t look like anyone else, I really do feel at home

Happy New Year

Love, Paddington

It’s been a day of bombs being dropped on densly populated neighbourhoods in #Lebanon.

More children will die, get injured & displaced. I'm reaching out to ask for support for a fundraiser I’ve set up to help a registered NGO feed 300 displaced, cold and hungry children daily

I’ve set up a GoFundMe to support the work of a #teacher I worked with, who always went above & beyond to support #education internationally. She is now asking for our urgent help to support #children in #Lebanon who are suffering. More details in 🧵 below

In my yoga class today, as part of our reflection, the yoga teacher said our education system teaches us that everything is about right and wrong and destroys our curiosity. I wish I could disagree and feel so disappointed that that is how we are viewed from the outside
