"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern

Last night a gay man was viscously attacked with hammers by a gang of teenagers in Dublin after arranging to meet on Grindr. Cruelly laughing and shouting faggot while they attacked. This is why we need inclusive education, to prevent this hatred from ever growing.
What a brilliantly Bold week the year 7s are having: design tech workshops at the wonderful @ChiswickSchool - thank you! Sky volunteers coding with our students, the police sharing how to keep yourself safe on line and workshops from Diversity Role Models.
A huge congratulations to our newest batch of mental health first aiders @MHFAEngland It's been a fascinating and intense couple of days. Brilliant ideas on how they will go on and promote mental health back at school too! Contact the team to book onto the June course.
What a brilliant 2 days training up our first cohort of Mental Health First Aiders! @MHFAEngland Did you know that your school can access two funded places on the course running in May and June? Contact the team for more information.
Time to celebrate! The new guidance calls for #RSE that is inclusive of #LGBT young people & those with special educational needs / disabilities. Now we must get to work and help #schools to translate this guidance into good practice. Thank you to everyone involved!
Very powerful talk on drugs and addiction from Simon Leigh today. Parents, don't miss his talk tonight at 6.30pm - 'A parents' guide to understanding the facts and myths around drugs.' @EalingPshe@ISC_schools#wellbeing
Excited to be on day one of mindfulness training and bring this course into our schools. If you have purchased the mental health package ask about our mindfulness resources!
