What a compelling share from @tom-campbell.bsky.social about leadership rooted in lived experience - so incredibly candid. There's integrity in the vulnerability & a profound sense of ambition to lead well from a compassionate space, continuously learn and be accountable.

"Maybe the leadership thing became an obsession. I knew life could stop at any moment. I didn’t want to hang around”

Startling honesty about his life and his view of the system from @tom-campbell.bsky.social

An important, challenging read.

‘Despite the fevered commentary to the contrary, the schools bill is neither all bad nor all good,’ writes E-ACT CEO @tom-campbell.bsky.social as he calls for an end to the ‘shouting from the sidelines’

Back at my desk after a brilliant new year in Cornwall. Plenty of fresh air to recharge the batteries ready for a new term!

The behaviour crisis is an ‘us’ not a ‘school’ problem It’s clear the behaviour challenge in schools is increasing, but solutions cannot be confined to what education alone can do to tackle it, says Tes editor Jon Severs
