"Scientists have linked the impact of living in an unequal society to structural changes in the brains of children – regardless of individual wealth – for the first time."
The last one for now in my ‘Back to School’ series on Inclusion. This is one for leaders leading school improvement in challenging circumstances. Sometimes the simplest answers are right in front of us streamlinedsendco.com/2025/09/09/l...
Another highlight was @nimishlad.bsky.social who asked us if a model of learning was enough? I was left wondering what we lose when we condense things and talked by his call to prioritise coherence over consistency
A highlight for me was @lekhasharma.bsky.social and her wonderful new boss Julian sharing their blueprint for uniting people, practices and performance at Life Education Trust

Next at Research Ed I saw @daisychristo.bsky.social sharing her insights on whether or not AI in education is worth the hype. Some very interesting findings re assessment and a crucial reminder of the importance of keeping the human in the loop
Inspired to hear @olicav.bsky.social talk on The Professional Mind at Research Ed yesterday. He offered so many interesting provocations, my favourite being ‘Are you allowed subjectivity in cognitive science?’
People seem to be enjoying these so here is another one on Inclusion. This time on Provision Mapping. Not the software but meaningful implementation to enable effective, targeted interventions. streamlinedsendco.com/2025/09/03/p...

Another one in the Inclusion Series, about how to line manage SENDCos well. It's mostly just me saying 'read The SEND Code of Practice' in several different ways but there is a resource at the end that leaders might find helpful. streamlinedsendco.com/2025/09/02/l...
