Experiences like this are so important. Helping children understand democracy, recognise the power of their voice and develop a sense of civic responsibility. Education is about preparing children not just for the next stage of learning, but for life and their place in society.

What a day in London! Our School Council explored democracy at the Houses of Parliament, enjoyed sightseeing and took to the skies on the London Eye! Inspired to share their learning and the importance of civic responsibility back at Howard.

An early start for our KS2 School Council as they head to Parliament! A fantastic opportunity to see democracy in action, explore civic responsibility and discover why every voice matters. Plus sightseeing and the London Eye! #BritishValues #PupilLeadership

Harvest reminded me today that education is about more than academic outcomes. It's about helping children understand belonging, gratitude, generosity and their responsibility to others. A wonderful celebration and incredible support for Pontefract Community Kitchen.

A wonderful Harvest Celebration at Howard this morning! Beautiful singing, pupil-led worship and a fantastic collection for Pontefract Community Kitchen. Thank you to our children, families and staff for showing such generosity and community spirit.

🦁🦉 Year 6 have created striking lion and owl portraits! Using tone, shading and varied mark-making, they explored how to bring fur and feathers to life, developing texture and detail through careful observation. #Year6 #PrimaryArt

STRIDE started as a running community for people who work in education, but there’s some much wider thinking developing behind it. If you’d like to follow the stories, ideas and community as it develops, you can subscribe free on the STRIDE website.

Running has got me thinking about something much bigger: how we sustain meaningful work in education without continually depleting the resources we need to do it.
