Yesterday we took over 100 aspiring headteachers to @reachschools.bsky.social and it was pretty astonishing.
Huge thanks to Rebecca Cramer, Tilly Browne, Louis Everett and Manjit Moore along with all of the staff, pupils and wider community in Feltham.
The schools are very, very special.

A recommendation for RE to join be part of the National Curriculum. This is a positive step forward for the RE community in creating a future where the subject has parity with other subjects, increased government support, and consistently high standards across England. #TeamRE
The final report of the independent curriculum and assessment review is OUT.
Deep gratitude to the thousands who participated. One thing that’s clear is that there’s abundant expertise and passion across our system.

A key point raised in the panel discussion by @clairestoneman.bsky.social was the importance of belonging for teachers - researchED definitely has a role to play in that for me!
