Within This Issue
This issue is dedicated to our friend and colleague Penny Lacey who died after a sudden and short illness in January of this year. Penny was a remarkable woman who is greatly missed. The articles and comments that appear in this celebratory issue of PMLD LINK are testament to her inspiration to others and her impact on improving practice. So too is the fact that so many people gave willingly of their time to make contributions in her memory.
Penny actively worked as a consultant to schools and organisations around the UK and she had an enormous influence on curriculum development as evidenced by the articles from Liz Gerschel and Yvonne McCall about developments at the Swiss Cottage and Castle Wood schools and the outcomes of a recent conference. Liz, Christopher Robertson, Jill Porter and Christine Tilstone also recall that Penny was an exceptional lecturer both at the former Westhill College in Birmingham and since 1991 at the School of Education at the University of Birmingham.
