Enhancing cultural diversity in history and geography (EYFS to Year 6)
Time for me to be trained! I attended a similar event that David Weatherly and Sheena Wright delivered last year, but it only focused on EYFS.

Bespoke CPD (Lympne C of E Primary School)
No rest for the wicked! Supposedly my Easter break, but I succumbed to a demand for some bespoke CPD from a school in Kent whose holidays fell in slightly different weeks.

2022 FFT Education Datalab Virtual Research Conference
