Bobbie was one of the most genuinely lovely people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She was an inspiration to everyone, and always wanted to keep on learning herself. Even when we were chatting about data protection (as, for some reason, we often did!) she wanted to know more and more so she could keep on improving what happened in our academies. Well, she delivered on that in spades, and the testimonies here speak volumes about the impact she had. I am devastated that she is no longer with us – the world of education is a little shorter on humanity and curiosity since her passing. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends, including all those who, like me, were lucky enough to know her professionally. And to Bobbie – may you rest in peace, safe in the knowledge that the lives of so many others are richer for having known you. x
