We are so proud of our pupils for stepping out of their comfort zones — it’s not easy, but that’s where growth happens 😃 Spotting a Lighthouse too is amazing 🥾 🌊 🐚 #OutdoorLearning #ComfortZone #UNCRCArticle31

Lovely day with Outdoor Education on a coastal walk in South Queensferry. We explored the area, asked lots of questions, took a mindful moment listening to the waves. We managed to walk 5K. @ghslighthouse.bsky.social we even spotted a lighthouse. @grangemouthhs.bsky.social @drmatheson.bsky.social

This is a brilliant book and every school needs a copy... challenges a lot of myths and assumptions but positive about changes in practice.

Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

I'm delighted to see this book being published. I'm hoping to publish a blog post about why those who work outside really need to dig deep and rethink approach with fresh eyes rather than assuming all is good on equity and inclusion outside.

Get excited! #ItsMoreThanFlagsandRainbows by @itimbrell.bsky.social is coming soon 🌈📚 This is a must-have handbook that will give schools the confidence and know-how to ensure meaningful, consistent & fully inclusive provision for all. Pre-order at: buff.ly/kI5nWsj @itlworldwide.bsky.social‬

Thank you. I'm delighted. Many people have fed back to me about #BloodLines and their own experiences of facing cancer, losing a loved one to cancer or being a carer. Both @jazampawfarr.bsky.social book and mine are about going through adversity and life long impact of this. x
