This will be my last post on X.
Hopefully this is an apt one to end on.
Will choose to remember the great connections and friends I've made on here and the posts, blogs and articles that have challenged me and shaped my thinking.
But it's time to move on me thinks! – at Bristol, England
Really looking forward to hosting the leadership stream of this. #smallbutmighty
It’s almost time! 500+ small school colleagues coming together to hear from a huge group of experts all through a small school lens!! #smallbutmighty #bettertogether
Congratulations!! So glad to have you with us!

Putting aside personal disappointment with this outcome, reducing choice at a time when the sector needs empowering leadership, diverse thinking and locally responsive options seems an unnecessarily backwards step.
Thank you Sam for articulating this so effectively! 🔥

It was great to hear from the big thinkers @CSTvoice but more than ever the spark was in the connection with friends and colleagues who stay restless in their pursuit of better and are determined to be the change. As the teenage Tinklers would say ‘it’s time to lock in!’ #bettertogether #bethechange
Great to launch the ‘Flourishing Together’ joint paper today with @LeoraCruddas at the @CSTvoice conference - great feedback and sooo many trusts wanting to get involved 👍

Superb blog from Sam here - exploring contrasting approaches to coaching and the importance of values underpinning an approach. So delighted Sam and the GMET team are part of our @CofE_EduLead NPQ delivery family! 🙌

I have read many books, listened to podcasts, read multiple blogs and enjoyed many keynote speakers but the best leadership advice for me came from an unlikely source – Ted Lasso.

Can't we just sort the Premier League on passing accuracy percentages? Surely it's more important than who wins the games? #saintsfc

We welcome today’s @educationgovuk announcement about removing single word judgements in Ofsted. Our @CofE_Education #SIAMS framework has already made that change and has shown that compassionate accountability can coexist with rigorous standards.
