Absolutely, agree, keep their grubby hands off, I KNOW, how much my education limited my ability to learn and even with my schooled kids avoiding this has been a major aim.

And i’ve gone all glowy having a link to me in at the end of that – i’m not sure i think anyone SHOULD pay me any attention at all, mind

I’m trying to put together a page that i’ll keep updated through the year of what we’ve done so i can use it easily at LEA time next year. It’s making me think a bit on how i’d show a ‘plan’. It truly is very difficult and the best i can think of is that most people will just want to know a sort of ‘what kind of things are you likely to do?’ plan.

Really i think HEers might need to make sure that we all offer up similar, if it comes to it, so no one over-enthusiastically sets too high a benchmark.

The alternative of course is to say “we use these galore park books and Education City” – certainly EC helped our LA visit this year, because it ticks a box for them, even though to me it is a small and hardly important box.
