#BlackHistoryMonth has started and our celebrations brought some sunshine on what was a typically autumnal day. A big thank you to our @WhitBAMEnetwork for organising it all and to @StAntsE7 & @ebonysteelband for joining in!

We are all looking forward to the rest of the month.

Inspiring closing quote at a lightning talk with @KHopkins_SLT at @COLA_Highgate just now: "In a world where silent classrooms are often associated with great learning/behaviour, it's easy to forget that it's good to talk." @talkingWhitSLTs

We are honoured to welcome 3 visitors from Tennessee, USA this week. 2 SLTs and one SEN teacher seeing how Listen-EAR works in our schools, and how they can support SLCN in the classrooms more. Keeley and Sarah met Ryan & Cheryl to show off Listen-EAR @holytrinitynw3

We know a lot of you will have seen it already, but today we’re celebrating this absolutely incredible poem written by @StephFBurgess – a massive thank you from @RCSLT & @ICANcharity to you Steph and to everyone who joined you to #SpeakupforCommunication https://t.co/dj6ZexzsLb

Question raised in our Network meeting today: "What do our local parents think about the importance of explicit teaching of communication skills in schools?" @WhitHealth #oracy #IslingtonSchools #SpeakUpForCommunication

For this week's #greatquoteFriday, we're resharing this fantastic question from @pow_rebecca at @educationgovuk questions earlier this week when she highlighted #Bercow10. @nadhimzahawi response may feature in a future week!
