Edinburgh University - Lecturer (Student Experience and Wellbeing) Research (Care Experience & Social Pedagogy) Proud Foster Father + Occasional Rugby Rant
A great morning at the PGDE Secondary Social Justice Conference. A great range of topics covered. Thanks for the opportunity to talk about Care Experienced pupils and Social Pedagogy. Some great questions and reflections from the cohort #MorayHouse#UniversityOfEdinburgh
Last night we gathered together to celebrate the annual MAPE Graduation Ball. It was great to see the year group together and to share stories and memories of the last four years. Our Peer Support Committee #EdBudds organised a lovely evening for both students and staff.
Very proud to see Long graduate yesterday, and to have such a great seat😉, as he graduated from my school at the University of Edinburgh. Really pleased to have both birth and foster families together for the big day #FosterFamilies
On the run-up to the school's graduation on Friday, I thought I'd share another memory from my dad's time at the school in the 1940s and 50s. The Moray House school song (Sorry, he can't remember the tune) was penned by the Head Teacher, Mr Mowat, and sung at School gatherings.
What a fantastic day at #PeerForum26. The choice of presentations and workshops was amazing. Great to hear from student leaders and colleagues from Norway, Sweden, Portugal & Canada on Peer-Led Initiatives in HE. #PeerSupport#PALS#EdBudds#SportBudds
Looking forward to this. A day spending time with like minded people on Peer Support and Learning. The conference has speakers from universities across the UK, Europe and as far flung as Canada.
And that's a wrap, the final day on campus for year 1. Recall day for hashtag#MAPEYear1 started with a hearty breakfast in Leve's, continued with placement reflections and ended with cake. Well done Year 1, have an amazing summer #MAPE#UniversityofEdinburgh
We are so proud of our MAPE Student cohort and all the hard work they have put in to raise funds for our chosen charity. £3,900 for this important charity takes the total raised for charities over the last five years to £18,560 #MAPE#UniversityofEdinburgh#MorayHouse
The Year 3 MAPE EdBudds Committee brought a long-lost annual event back to life on Monday night. The MAPE Talent Competition. 'Acts' from across years 1 to 3 sang/danced their hearts out for a great cause. This year's events are raising funds for Charlie Boys Cancer Foundation
Nothing tugs at the pedagogical heartstrings like seeing our MAPE cohort come together to support their chosen charity. Students from Years 1-3 gathered for their annual charity ball, raising funds for Charlie Boys Cancer Journey #MAPE#EdinburghUniversity
Thanks to Dr Andrew Horrell for delivering the final Academic Cohort Lead (ACL) session to our Year 1 students on the MAPE. Starting our conversation about AI and GenAI as early as possible #UniverstyOfEdinburgh

Left home early in the snow this morning, and arrived at a sunny (but chilly) @EdinburghUni It was lovely to meet some of the Language Education staff and students, to start the process of establishing an EdBudds #PeerSupport system as part of our Student Support #MorayHouse
