Pleased to have a letter published in @thetimes this morning on the dangers posed by #socialmedia to today's #teenagers. The mental health crisis is real. It is being fuelled by a succession of governments allowing our young people to be the playthings of amoral #algorithms

Today’s Assembly for the students @PriorPark is the first of our new academic year. I reflect upon the increased number of #British and #English #flags across the United Kingdom. I address the growth of Operation #raisethecolours and what our flags mean. youtu.be/fO4cjkBQoRk?si=EH_C…

I talk about #immigration, #inclusivity, and #Patriotism . I talk about why national #symbols are coming to matter more and more. It is vital that we talk to students calmly and appropriately about these matters. They don’t want to be told what to think.

Young people want to talk about what they see on their socials and on their streets. Young people want to understand their world and engage with it. @HMC_Org

As a Headmaster, there is something truly wonderful about the Wednesday before tomorrow’s A Level Results’ Day. It is a day pregnant with possibility. We’ve spent the day working through the results @PriorPark and making things ready for the excitement of tomorrow.

I know that there will be lots of students excited, apprehensive, or confused tomorrow morning. Know that your teachers will all be there to celebrate, support, and advise.

We can’t wait to see what the Class of 2025 go on to do. One thing I know, is that they’re going to do extraordinary and wonderful things.

It is the time of year when I take a break. I search for a little sun, a little heat, and some time to decompress. Being the Head of @PriorPark is a privilege and a joy - but it comes with a lot of busyness and responsibility. Time to sit on a beach and read some books…

She draws characters who are so vivid. She writes about Africa with a perception that few authors I’ve encountered have ever managed. The whole book blew me away.

I’m still slightly in awe of it and I am keen to read so much more by her – but not yet. I need to cleanse my palette before starting another book of such power.
