I attended the DfE end-of-year event this evening with officials, policy makers, education leaders, teachers, and trade union leaders. @bphillipsonMP spoke with passion & clarity about the shared principles that unite us in our drive to improve the life chances for young people.
Read the speech from.@bphillipsonMP at a Westminster event for the schools sector this evening. It includes a commitment to not "shy away" from complex reform, "SEND especially".

It always feels a little surreal to finally hold in your hands the book you've poured your heart into over the past year. Between teaching full-time and parenting, finding time to write isn’t always easy—but my fifth book, Rock the World, has been a joy to bring to life. Set
