Great leadership requires perspective. Yet, in the intensity of school life, it’s easy to fall into routine—talking about the same constraints and missing out on fresh ideas. This is where we hope the SW100 offers something different 🧵 sw100.substack.com/p/breaking-o...

I spent the day at Charles Dickens Primary School today and it’s so good that I almost cried. It was a privilege to join a group of some of Wales’s finest primary leaders and reflect on what we saw. The standard in writing books was off the scale, but we were also wowed by their expression in art.

We’re at a very exciting point at @thereachfoundation.bsky.social Our journey began with a school in Feltham. The team there help secure brilliant outcomes for children. But for ALL kids to flourish, a great school is necessary but not sufficient. So we started to work deeper in our community.

Great day at @thereachfoundation.bsky.social today in Feltham with @leadeast100.bsky.social. I’ve wanted to visit for so long so today was a bit of wish fulfilment. Really, it’s doing what all schools should be empowered to do - looking after the children in their community with warmth & rigour.

At the @TheReachFoundation, we talk a lot about 'levers'... We believe that school, trust and community leaders have a duty to examine every possible lever available to achieve the shared outcome we so desire: ensuring *all* children can enjoy lives of choice and opportunity.

Jon is always so reflective & generous with ideas - this is no different. We often have more in common & can disagree while still learning from one another. ‘I learn something with pretty much every interaction I have. Just leave the pitchforks at the door.’ Love this @jonhutchinson.bsky.social
