Have you ever watched Colin Fry in action? Don’t know who he is? Well, he’s billed as one of the most successful mediums in the country and as I write he’s doing the Sixth Sense show on FTN (obscure digital channel).

Would someone understand that there’s a man holding up a road sign with Chipping Sodbury on it?

The main thing that strikes me as I watch, is just how Colin Fry’s readings seem to get better as the strength of his connection grows and as he is able to focus in upon the person who is this side of life.

Don’t ask me why but this made me think about the dialogue between you in school and ourselves in the Primary Team! (I could be digging a hole here…!)

Our support for you in your school, particularly as the renewed framework gain pace and traction, is shaping up very nicely, especially as more and more people in schools talk with us and share priorities. Thankfully we’ve been told that our recent and more intimate ‘framework familarisation sessions’ for maths and literacy people here at Castle Hill have really turned things around for a good number of subject leaders. That kind of feedback is a welcome turn-about from the launch event earlier this year so thanks.

So, buoyed up by this strengthening connection, there’ll be more CPD coming this summer and we’ll be getting detailed information out about it very soon. In fact by the end of the day on Wednesday (18/4) we aim to have all of our CPD scheduled out and finalised going through to summer 2008.

Well Colin has wrapped up now but fear not he’s on again in a couple of mins - why do I watch this stuff?
