It was a pleasure to be at a hotel, in Cheltenham, participating in a conference with exceptional colleagues about a subject I feel very strongly about – developing our education system to ensure all children can access all the opportunities an outstanding education can provide. My contribution was about language and literacy (of course!), alongside Marc Rowland, Margaret Mulholland and colleagues from the Research School Network.

Enormous thanks to Anna, Jane and Helen for organising everything.
