1. Healthy schools – some thoughts on our journey. Stewart Plowes and Rachel Beck Turton and Edgworth CE/Methodist Primary School – Blackburn with Darwen

2. Apology - we do not have the answers for your school – we may not even have the questions! Just because it may be part way to working for us does not mean the same things apply, you may be way beyond, not yet there or on a totally different route to where we were. Relationships are the key to everything that we do – our main focus in school. Having a PSHE leader who is talented, dedicated, passionate about what she does and an incredible learner has been ok too!

8. …some schools and teachers transcend what appear to be systemic problems, and are led with the dynamism and independence of spirit which gives their staff the necessary confidence to break free of the culture of dependence and compliance. …asserting such independence requires both real courage and a record of success as conventionally defined.

9. AMG – the accumulation of marginal gains “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little” - Edmund Burke Cambridge Primary Review – Wellbeing is point 1 of twelve. This can’t be co-incidence!
