On my train journey to NASACRE 26' conf tomorrow in Liverpool. I set myself some time to read Joe Kinnaird's 'Secondary RE in action'. Well done Joe I think you fulfil your aims, and this will be so helpful to many new RE teachers and heads of RE. Had a thoroughly lovely time reading it - thankyou.

@roywd.bsky.social wanted to check how much cake to make for Saturday. So far I have a chocolate and banana loaf, banana and bonoffe cake, some gluten free brownies and a lemon cake. Probably 60 slices of cake. I can do more! But don't want to do too much for you either. Let me know what I can do, x

This is precisely the kind of CPD I am interested in. 1. Teachers talking about their current work. I want to hear new voices and the latest ideas. You can apply to be a speaker. I would love to hear from new voices in #TeamRE in particular. 2. Affordable - Teachers get their £10 fee back. 1/2
