It's a very Merry Christmas from us here at NAHT and NAHT Edge, we're joined by Lewis Iwu, Director of the Fair Education Alliance. Lewis tells James Bowen about work being done to address the achievement gap and the role of character education in schools.

NAHT Policy Adviser Sarah Hannafin picks over the impact being felt by Progress 8 and Ebacc.

You'll also hear some great news about our collaboration with Focus Education and get a chance to book on some fine courses for middle leaders.

Join all that up with details on our assessment in practice course and you have the trailblazing Leadership Podcast.
