Cottesmore Headmaster In A War Zone – Introduction

Two days ago, Cottesmore Headmaster Tom Rogerson posted something rather remarkable on his LinkedIn page.

‘An extraordinary invitation came through the post – an invitation to join a cross-party delegation on a mission to Ukraine. MPs from the Labour, Liberal Democrat & Conservative parties will be on the trip, as well as journalists.

[The] mission for the exercise is to raise awareness back in the UK and globally: the conflict is ongoing, those involved are not forgotten and it continues to cause extensive suffering on many fronts.

One of my personal missions on the trip is to be the first UK Headteacher to actively twin with a school in Kyiv by visiting the school, teaching, talking and playing music with them. They will be reminded that they are not forgotten.

The mission is on.’

School House Magazine will be closely following Tom’s journey – make sure to check back every day for updates on this incredible undertaking!
