Over the next two weeks, for some wellbeing fun, @megan_pankhurst has launched our very own version of @TheTraitorsUK across the Middle Leaders at school! Already, everyone is suspicious! Round table (WhatsApp) voting begins Monday. Who will survive @ClaudiaWinkle? #BeginsatDBSJP

9 schools across Dubai shared their #NGRT Form B data with me. I shared it back today with insights on Dubai reading trends. Love the collaboration. I genuinely feel the education landscape has changed so much since I came 12 years ago when schools kept to themselves #CollabUAE

I know it is half term for many here in Dubai, but I will be working on the Form B NGRT data collation this week and next. Thank you to those schools who have already shared their data - some old from Form A and new faces too! #CollabUAE #assessment forms.office.com/r/N5NXkZWpz…
