#Brightonmarathon weekend done. What a gorgeous event. Reminded around the 18-mile mark about the importance of resilience, determination & ambition as the heat hit and the legs began to ache & the finish line seemed so close yet so far away. I'm sure there's an assembly in there for the children!

Great collaborative Talk Matters meeting, as part of London's Violence Reduction Unit's Oracy project. Inspiring to come together with colleagues from around London, to share insights and strategies.

Driving positive change & creating a sense of belonging and value for all.

🧵 19KM TRAINING RUN: THE HIGHS & LOWS 🏃‍♀️

Some runs are smooth. Others test every ounce of mental strength. Today’s 19km was a mix of both.

What a privilege for our year 6 to be asked to contribute to the International Holocaust Memorial Exhibition @uniofgreenwich. Hearing survivor stories was humbling. So proud of the artwork, aided by @amyartworksedu - this thank you is cherished but should be for all involved 🙏

A high-quality platform to showcase quality writing outcomes from our year 6 pupils. Coffee art inspired by Alwy Fadhel, balanced argument writing inspired by The Arrival by Shaun Tan.

What I love about London is that it is always possible to find a place of peace in such a busy city for a good, long run

No matter how many times I watch the coffee pot, I'm always fascinated by this

There are so many to choose from, it's a minefield. Have you read or heard any talks by @angelabrowne.bsky.social I found her inspiring

Excited to see #oracy transforming our primary classrooms! Following audit by @topsypage.bsky.social, we began with the agreed language of 'respectful listening' - pupil attention has improved! Speaking for purpose builds confidence & deepens learning
