Each school subject relates to a distinctive quest for truth. SLT must know how each subject captures this, so the curriculum as a whole teaches awe, humility & respect for truth. My piece in @CharteredColl Impact #SLTchat.

Only 2 days to go! A concert I've been excited about for months. In #ArvoPart's 90th year, @StephenDLayton & @holstsingers celebrate works by this extraordinary composer whose life story has been a fascinating spiritual & musical journey, placing them in a wider Estonian context.
Join us on Saturday 26th July at St John-at-Hampstead for a powerful evening of music marking the 90th birthday of one of the world’s most iconic living composers — Arvo Pärt.

Our most recent webinar on planning and teaching a lesson sequence using an enquiry question from @catherinepriggs and @EG_Carr is now available to view!.It really is brilliant so don't miss out (we're not just saying so because we're biased). Watch now:
