Some of the best teachers in the country are working in our most diverse and challenging schools. So why are they being overlooked? 🤔

On the latest episode of The Kitchen Table, our director @unleashing_me shares a powerful reflection. When some of our highest performing teachers applied for roles elsewhere, a number of them would not have secured an interview for a standard teaching post.

Sufian explores the bias that high performing teachers from diverse schools can face, and what this means for how we recognise talent across the profession.

This is a conversation every school leader and recruiter should hear.

When one Amjad Ali just isn’t enough for the world! Our very own Amjad @TryThisTeaching caught up with his namesake & leader of @lutoncouncil last night at the inspiring @CILuton Awards. Two fine gentlemen 👍
