We were delighted to welcome HRH the Princess of Wales to our campus. The Princess attended a lecture from the Childhood Studies degree programme before sitting down for a conversation with the programme leader and final-year students about the #ShapingUs campaign.

Such an important topic, really looking forward to this discussion.

Michael Inglis and I have contributed a blog to this series, about the language of science education at the primary-secondary transition. We write about some findings from our Economic and Social Research Council project Linguistic Challenges of the Transition, based at @Education_Leeds .

I'm delighted to be speaking at this event, about findings from the Linguistic Challenges of the Transition project on the language of school, at @Education_Leeds, in collaboration with Marcus Jones at Huntington Research. Looking forward to hearing experts on this really important issue.
