It is appalling to see how this school has been continually let down. Sacred Heart needs urgent support and funding to address these issues.

Today was a fantastic opportunity to hear from former @UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. His talk was so full of passion, but also conveyed a vital message that we all need to act as Global Citizens to help achieve a sustainable future for all.

It has been fantastic to work with Naz through the @BritSciAssoc Community Buddy Programme. I can highly recommend it to any researchers looking to support their local community.

It was fantastic to spend the day with the @bcs discussing the #DigitalSkillsGap. There is still a lot of work to do, but it is clear from today that we are all pushing in the right direction.

After a great talk - on why #CSEdResearch is harder than Computer Science Research - @Guzdial joins @suesentance to officially unveil the @RaspberryPi_org Computing Education Research Centre here. This is a great initiative and it's fantastic to see it officially launched!
