Recently, I had a useful meeting with the Chief Executive of the David Ross Education Trust, Stuart Burns, to discuss the work they are doing to ensure that all children in their schools locally achieve to the best of their potential and go on to succeed in the future - particularly in light of the challenging circumstances that pupils and teachers are currently facing. This was a really interesting meeting and I have come away with a number of useful themes to highlight, and a few ideas to take forward, around what more can be done locally to improve outcomes for our young people.
