What a compelling share from @tom-campbell.bsky.social about leadership rooted in lived experience - so incredibly candid. There's integrity in the vulnerability & a profound sense of ambition to lead well from a compassionate space, continuously learn and be accountable.

"Maybe the leadership thing became an obsession. I knew life could stop at any moment. I didn’t want to hang around”

Startling honesty about his life and his view of the system from @tom-campbell.bsky.social

An important, challenging read.

Why Labour-supporting trusts are not ‘flying pigs’ Trusts and Labour are not in opposition but the narrative of the moment has created a political divide where none exists, argues E-ACT CEO Tom Campbell

‘Despite the fevered commentary to the contrary, the schools bill is neither all bad nor all good,’ writes E-ACT CEO @tom-campbell.bsky.social as he calls for an end to the ‘shouting from the sidelines’

Back at my desk after a brilliant new year in Cornwall. Plenty of fresh air to recharge the batteries ready for a new term!

The behaviour crisis is an ‘us’ not a ‘school’ problem It’s clear the behaviour challenge in schools is increasing, but solutions cannot be confined to what education alone can do to tackle it, says Tes editor Jon Severs

"Most importantly, it needs to be recognised that behaviour in schools is not a school problem. It is an “us” problem. And it therefore can’t simply have a school solution."
