Food and agriculture could be in for a few bumps.
Excellent and sobering piece by @IanDunt should be required reading for the No Deal fantasists.

Students Emily, Amelia and Sophie from @FalmouthUni recently volunteered to produce a mural for @PenrynPrimary. Accumulating over 150 hours to create this stunning work of art, it will be proudly displayed in the centre of the KS2 site. #community #collaborate #WeAreAspire

I like the use of “informing aspirations” in place of “raising aspirations”- sometimes successful WP engagement might help a young person *change* or *develop* their aspirations rather than “raise” them. xitter.gq/appliedoutreach/status…
This is why we like to use the phrase "informing aspirations". This terminology is embedded throughout our @ApplInspiration programmes #summersymposium @emmadthomas xitter.gq/OnBetamax/status/10097…

The grand unveiling of #UniFit at @NEONHE #SummerSymposium happens tomorrow in @emmadthomas session.
A whole new approach to partnering and supporting outreach from @AppliedOutreach ... it’s such a great solution!!

So far #NEONSummerSymposium has been really interesting and positive, but I think we need to stop saying "raising aspirations" of WP students. It implies that the lack of aspiration is the reason they don't end up in Higher Education.

A huge congratulations to Donna Ashlee from @BrockhillFarm and a great move for the School Farm Network. Thank you Geoff Carr for your support of @AppliedOutreach in getting the SFN Education Alliance up and working. xitter.gq/schoolfarmers/status/1…
Introducing our new Chairperson - Donna Ashlee from @BrockhillFarm. Huge thanks to Geoff Carr for his work to get the SFN where it is today. #SFNEA
This has been frequently mentioned throughout #HEfestival as a potentially damaging & unhelpful university marketing strategy.
What do some of our partner schools think? @DonnaAshlee1 @CaldiesSchool @BebingtonHighSC @Commonweal6 @CampdenSchool @ArchwaySchool @BrockhillPark xitter.gq/hannah__morrish/status… – at Buckingham, England
8-10% of students who receive an unconditional offer are more likely to drop by 2 or more grades on results day... 🤔

#HEFestival Chris Ramsey @HMC_HigherEd says that the key to greater #fairaccess is training students to think wider & more openly, not just leaving it up to the admissions process to ‘level the playing field’. Again, implications for HE #outreach & #wideningparticipation.
