How do you develop great school leaders who have the knowledge, ambition and network to eradicate the disadvantage gap across a region?
We think you do it as a team.
East 100 as a programme for aspiring headteachers across the east of England.

Every great story has someone who made it shine. For so many of us, that’s a teacher.
Today is the final day to say thank you in a way the whole world can see. Nominate a teacher for the 2027 Global Teacher Prize. It takes less than a minute.

My new book, Building Belonging in Schools, is out next month.
It’s available for pre-order now.
I’m convinced that we can really shift the experience that kids have in schools, and make them places where they love to go.
This book is my attempt to set out how.

Great to hang out with @RobGeog today at the launch of the east of England KS3 Alliance.
We heard from joint chairs Becks Boomer-Clark and Lesley Powell, east chairs @Claire_Heald and Gareth Stevens, and Agnes Fitzpatrick and @JohnPeterJerrim from the @TEP_Community.

If we don’t get behaviour right in schools then everything else we seek to do it essentially building on sand.
I get under the skin of this in my new book Behaving and Belonging.

Don’t build on sand!

Can we educate our way out of a climate emergency? Sadly, research suggests that we use our education to pursue status rather than truth - and that’s a problem.

Creativity in the classroom isn't about abandoning structure.
Our Creativity course explores how teachers can give students the knowledge, space and strategies they need to think in new ways.

First two English re-marks are back. Increased by 12 and 16 marks. A difference of two grades from 3 to 5. How on earth are we supposed to know which grades to get checked? Report says clerical error. Why doesn’t that trigger a recall of all marks by that marker? Not good enough

I've weighed in on the great vocational education debate.
From what we can see of the govt plans, I think they will repeat mistakes of the past.
Also, we need to retire the phrase "parity of esteem". It's not helping.
