Education, SEND and inclusion. Fond of running.

I visited the Imperial War Museum yesterday and found it very moving, actually hard not to cry. The sheer futility, bravery and resilience of people during conflict was overwhelming. Last night I nearly bought Dunkirk but hesitated… I’ve never really watched war films before. Is it worth a watch? 🙏

Cutting-edge cancer treatments made within days rather than weeks or months. Personalised gene therapies to be made while patients wait (with only minutes of shelf life). Both will now be possible thanks to the world-first regulations coming into force today, thanks to the Labour government.

And just like that… we made it. 💫 Last day of term, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite this tired. This year has been a whirlwind. Here’s to rest, sunshine, and hopefully finding my running rhythm again - one peaceful mile at a time. 🤞 School’s out for summer! 💚

Betty the school therapy dog (a sandy coloured miniature labradoodle) has assumed her rightful position as Queen of the School Gates - flat out on the pavement, tongue lolling like she’s just run a marathon (she hasn’t). She’s rocking a Union Jack neckerchief and a party hat with the confidence of a dog who knows she’s the main event. Regal and ready for summer.Running selfie. Yes, I stopped mid-run to take this. Yes, that’s why my Strava pace is questionable. I sacrifice for the content. You’re welcome.

There’s always an assumption that low nos of children with SEND at a school means they’ve been turned away or kicked out: it could mean that some of these schools have inclusion right & so more children don’t need different from/additional to what’s universally on offer. /1
