4-12 NEWS Highlights from the UK education sector 13 VIEWS


With author Jo Cormack, and Patrick Hayes, Director at BESA 14 BESA CORNER


Dear Reader,


Welcome to the latest issue of Education Today. With the Easter holidays now behind us, it’s time to look ahead to the summer months, and what better way than with an in-depth look at getting your pupils outside and active as the weather improves? There are many great activities which children can get involved in at school, and as we’re in the middle of a childhood obesity epidemic which shows no signs of abating, school- organised activities could be a crucial piece of the jigsaw. I hope our features on the topic give you some ideas! Also in this month’s issue, we look


back at March’s Education Show, offering some highlights for you in case you weren’t able to attend. We continue our new section shining a spotlight on the many aspects of SEND with Jo Dilworth and Kate Sarginson, have all our regular contributors as always offering insight and advice, as well as a great roster of commenters sharing their thoughts on the world of education. We also continue our section on UK


education writers, “From the pen of…”, counsellor and author Jo Cormack, who calls for a new focus in the classroom on helping children develop a healthy and lasting relationship with the food they eat. Finally, we’ll be visiting The Academies


Show on the 25th April so if you’d like to meet us, drop us a line and we’ll see you there! Remember, you can get in touch with


us via Twitter @EdTodayMag, Facebook and our homepage, as well as by phone or email. We love hearing from you!
