Attended screening & discussion of beautiful film Félicité recommended by organisers of Afrika Eye Festival. 1 day left with many films: www.afrikaeye.org.uk Look forward to talking with organisers soon about how such films might deliver more #diversity & #representation in school curriculum.
This kind of lovely feedback lights the fire in me. Looking forward to having coffee with Julz next week to talk more about the goal to make Bristol the #civilrightscapital of the UK and the role of the school sector in our city to undertake #antiracism work towards achieving that. #EDI #equalities
Supported the #SLT to complete a #SEND review at an incredible #ALP school with an #autism hub in London today, a place full of #heart and a strong #culture of lovely pupils & staff. #inclusion #ADHD #traumainformed #schoolleadership #SEMH #behaviour #relationalpactice #ASC #EDI #schoolimprovement

Stark data at Ambitious about Inclusion conference hosted by @centreforyounglives.bsky.social & @mission44.bsky.social. Given diverse challenges of the vast region of SW England, I hope that pledges turn into concrete action. In Bristol, challenges are huge but also rooted in our specific context.
Another fantastic and free event for women from all backgrounds to get our bodies moving, learn new #dancing skills & talk about #perimenopause and #menopause together. Ready to learn #bhangra with me? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/south-asia... #mentalhealth #exercise #mindbodysoul #wellbeing #movement
