I love hearing about schools that offer some curriculum flex. Carr Manor in Leeds timetables interest-based learning 1 day/wk for KS3
- described in this @teamsquarepeg.bsky.social book. Promotes inclusion & engagement.

We’ve created a new generation of kids who’ll grow up distrustful of services, wrestling mental illness and comorbid impact on health. Their stories will out and we will hang our heads in shame.

4.

They’re destroying our kids’ self esteem, stunting development, manifesting mental illness. The shadow cast coupled with years of failed interventions and intrusion into family life is decimating families’ lives.

3/

They look reasonable and benign. They aren’t. They reward the most able and healthy, discriminate and stigmatise everyone else.

Read no.3 of 2025 - It took me a long while to get through this one, but as a parent to 2 square pegs, it was an important one. I recommend that every head teacher in the UK read this @teamsquarepeg.bsky.social

There's an interview with Ellie Costello of @teamsquarepeg.bsky.social in my new book that you might find interesting.

I guess maybe something like the ‘consistent commitment to include every family, to give every child every chance’ approach outlined by Lucie Larkin of Carr Manor in Square Pegs: Inclusivity, compassion and fitting in, by @teamsquarepeg.bsky.social. Their ‘staff circles’ idea is awesome 💕

Wow! 🤩 THANK YOU!☺️

And it’s exactly what we hoped our book would initiate - inspiration, intention, aspiration, ambition. A lever for change. And on this occasion, we’ve been invited along for the ride!

It is rare to join a senior leadership, support staff, specialist teachers, parents & kids in the margins all aligned and ready to embed a legacy of belonging and inclusion. Together.

What an honour and privilege for Team Square Peg.
