Yesterday I was minibus driver for a school trip to the stables with students at our Phoenix Centre in Hinckley, part of the Children's Hospital School. Very few volunteers to muck out, so I picked up a fork and got stuck in. Secretly enjoyed it & a highlight of the week to do something different!
10 years now at The Children's Hospital School Leicester as head.
From 3 provisions in 2015 to 5 provisions in 2025, with a couple of outstanding inspections on the way.
Lots of exciting plans to develop further so certainly not bored. Huge thanks to everyone along the journey who have help.
NAHT Senior Policy Advisor, Rob Williams, yesterday told the Education Committee that school leaders worry about not being able to provide for the needs of pupils with SEND as a result of funding pressures on schools.
“It's not just that many councils are set to go bust because funding for #SEN has not kept pace with demand...it is also the risk that the money that is available ends up going into plugging deficits rather than actually supporting young people," says @julia-harnden.bsky.social

I always head into the Peaks whenever I can, especially when I need some headspace. After 30 years of living up here, there are still so many places to see.
