- Exciting to see the @tourofbritain.bsky.social pass the end of my street earlier. #Cycling #TourOfBritain #GeraintThomas
- Yes! Learning as the vehicle, personal development as the goal. It's highly likely that this kind of model for qualifications would also help to narrow the disadvantage gap and be far more useful than the existing Welsh Bac. #EduSky #Teachers #Curriculum #Education #CurriculumForWales #GCSEs

- Thank you all - it was a really interesting conversation. Getting to the root cause, asking '5 whys' and the five column pathway to 'where we want to be' are my key take-aways.
- All of this! 👏

- Visiting different schools is a privilege and a great learning opportunity. There are different ways to do things well, but common themes across successful schools are: passionate and knowledgeable leaders, authentic commitment to a shared vision, and consistency in implementing agreed approaches.
- Hello #EduSky! I'm currently making the move from X and hoping to find lots of the amazing educators I have followed and learned so much from, over here.
