We’re so looking forward to welcoming @marymyatt.bsky.social to our Annual Conference for School Leaders on Tuesday. The team are wrapping presents tonight - fire is lit - is it Christmas? 🤣

A real treat for Charlotte this morning - a wonderful visit to the wonderful Bridekirk Dovenby School 💕

Then Charlotte was on to the opening of the long fought for classroom at St Patrick’s Endmoor. More amazing pupils, staff, headteacher and community 💕

It’s been quite the day for Charlotte, reminding her of the best bits of being a school leader (first hand) and some of the trickiest bits (in conversation). Some (best bits only) are captured here … The AMAZING @stoswalds choir and some special places xxx

What a special day. Back where it all started in 1811 at Hackney Church 💕

Our own Charlotte Tudway, Diocesan Director of Education, introduced Leora Cruddas of the Confederation of School Trusts at The National Society conference at Hackney Church. We’re all so proud of Charlotte’s work - she inspires us all every day

A cold but beautiful evening in London 💕

Today my employers were paying me to drive to Borrowdale. How lucky am I?! What a gorgeous journey and what a fabulous school. My only question is how do pupils get any work done with these views from their classroom windows? 🤔

It’s a grim job trying to make the shocking lack of underfunding for our school buildings (£800k with £1.8m worth of projects needing doing). However the blow was softened today … when you’re colleague serves THE BEST mince pies ever AND then their spouse goes out to buy bacon butties for the team 💕

Every visit to Langdale School is special💕 Today was EXTRA special - lunch, worship, advent time with pupils 💕 Lucky me! Thanks for the amazing welcome 🙏

First of three pieces on effective school governance by Matt Bromley - lots of detailed points here for leadership teams including governors to get their teeth into @mattbromley.bsky.social

Delighted that the long awaited extension to St Patrick’s school is finally complete and pupils now have the great environment for learning that they deserve 💕

A lovely trip down to Blackburn Diocese for a DBE Services Board meeting today. Wonderful to hear about the amazing work of @dbeschooladvice.bsky.social 👍 And catch up with colleagues in our family of northern dioceses ❤️

Yesterday was a beautiful day to visit the amazing Grayrigg School with our current cohort of Christian Leadership Course delegates. It really is all about BELONGING at Grayrigg. Inspirational ❤️
