This is what levelling-up REALLY looks like, @RishiSunak - real communities coming together to identify & work for their real needs, in this case in education.
It’s an excellent read.

On May 10, 2023, T. Berry Brazelton would have been 105 years old. ! We still miss him. Always will. His brilliance and vision live on in each of us and our work, and in the collective impact we have on children and families. Happy Birthday, Dr. B!
