Extremely kind comment - thank you @clairepatella. Very much looking forward to visiting @Rowan_Prep & meeting teachers and parents on Tuesday.

I fully encourage parents @Rowan_Prep to attend @future_smart lecture. I can’t go but having heard her talk @shrewsburyhouse & consumed every page in her fabulous book I think it is so relevant to our children. I refer to her book all the time.

Thank you @nathancresswell - really glad you enjoyed my session at the @NEUnion conference! Delighted school leaders felt focusing on intellectual character could be both useful and practical. #NEULeaders2018

[NEULeadership @NEU_Leadership]

@future_smart thinking expert CJ Simister says while lots of teachers naturally encourage traits such as originality & curiosity in students schools can benefit by putting in place a whole-school approach. This will be a set of goals for everyone to work towards #NEUleaders2018

Suddenly hit me. If there's truth in this 10,000 hours thing, I've got to get cracking. Stone masonry? The bassoon? High wire? Tick tock.
