We are calling for a local, relevant, contemporary, future-facing art, craft and design curriculum - a national curriculum where every child is represented, and all can achieve.'

It was a joy to lead this ‘in conversation’ piece with @mollyhankinson.bsky.social for @nsead.bsky.social AD Magazine. Molly’s work against gender based violence is fantastic.

Catching up on Influence from the NSEAD Conference 2025—Christopher Samuel and Sarah Fox offered powerful prompts on voice, narrative, and leading with care. A timely reminder of the impact we hold.

This year, NSEAD launched our Art Educator Manifesto, which upholds the entitlement for every learner to access art, design, creativity & cultural education. It presented a clear set of hopes, aims & actions: each one aligns with our values as a trade union, learned society & subject association.

Hi @photographyteacher.bsky.social - that's really helpful feedback. We are a core coalition partner – as TUC affiliated union and professional body. We've been involved right from the start and were privileged to be at the launch. It's REALLY helpful for us to know that this is not clear.

Michele Gregson, gen sec and CEO of NSEAD, speaking at the APPG for Art, Craft & Design in Ed: 'you can't be it if you can't see it'. We need investment in our subject-specific workforce AND, investment in data to ensure our amazing workforce draws from and represents our rich and diverse society.

Yesterday @ioe.bsky.social #DrAndyAsh became president of #NSEAD.
#CanonMarleneWylie handed over the chain of office - on the chain are names of past presidents - a record of the important work undertaken, 137 years of work. Both said: ‘The chain is heavy in weight + in weight of responsibility’ 1/2
