Today in diacritics:

Lots of things that could be posted after such an incredible career but I always thought this was particularly sublime.

Discovered via a recommendation from Katherine Rundell on IG, & the reason why I have been giggling and crying on the train for the last 90 mins: Clémentine Beauvais’s own translation of her superb YA novel Piglettes. Absolutely wonderful.

This made for a wonderful conversation with Primary English leaders from across The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership (ATLP) this afternoon. I am endlessly grateful for the ways in which primary colleagues carve out and protect time to pass on their passion for reading for pleasure within a packed curriculum.

Looking forward to this!

Calling #edutwitter : Bronwen is brilliant and this is a fantastic opportunity!

Sharing on behalf of a friend, who is the chair of governors. She is very happy to speak informally to interested parties, and you wouldn’t necessarily need to live locally to Solihull 😊 linkedin.com/jobs/view/4059…

Great 🧵: I agree with every word, and will add that school libraries (& music & drama depts) play an important pastoral role as a safe space for many vulnerable students. They can be expensive but they are not a luxury & as in so many cases the alternative is much more costly.

We are extremely sad to hear of the death of our revered long-time author David Lodge. Our thoughts are with his children and family. His influential place in the history of British letters will endure through the wonderful body of work he leaves behind. Read the full statement:

This afternoon, some of our Year 6s worked with our SCITT visitors. The trainees were blown away with their work ethic and imagination. The focus was about creative writing and the Year 6s showed great pride in sharing their English work as well as creating a new piece.

I have a ticket for the Litdrive UK conference on Saturday to pass on - please get in touch if you are interested. #LitdriveCPD25 #LitdriveCPD #TeamEnglish
