Do scroll down my feed today to see so many examples of teachers passionately presenting their routes to excellence for all, with a bit of help from the ‘Opening Doors’ team. Big thanks to Dr Becky Fisher @englishassociation.bsky.social for backing our work.

📚❤️ Could there be a better end to the day than taking the "blue book" (i.e. everything you need to know about Opening Doors) to the @britishlibrary.bsky.social?
