One section of the archives and how it looks at the beginning of the year
I am very excited about working with one of the only primary school archives this year as well as working with the children of Paganel school.

I can’t wait to begin this exciting process!

Policy writing can seem a dull, time-comsuming task (which is why it probably didn’t get done in the first place), and how can you write a pertinent policy collaboratively without boring everyone? Who better than Edward de Bono to help out with our lateral thinking to make sure we at least have a draft policy that matches our ambition? Continue reading
