So sad to hear. Sending condolences to David’s family and friends. I was in David’s tutor group as a PGCE student 20 years ago. I haven’t spoken since but David has played such an important role in my teaching life: inspiring me to teach in early years, to hold dispositions central to my practice and hopefully keep kindness at its core.
