It was wonderful to be able to attend the Education Garden Party this week at Buckingham Palace with so many other educators. Along with PTI staff, we were very fortunate to be able to spend time talking with many colleagues, new friends and of course, with HM the King and HM Queen. We had a great discussion about our amazing children, families and staff in Kirkby Lonsdale. #inspired #grateful #london #fun
