Well this is rather exciting! My new book on reflective practice as a positive tool for educator wellbeing will be out Friday 10th March, published by @JohnCattEd. Thank you jillberrywrites for the lovely review.

We’re not secondaries, people need to stop trying to make primaries like mini-secondaries. We need to embrace what’s great about primary education and shout about it. Our job isn’t just to prepare children for the next step it’s way more important than that.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has a bigger impact on children's life chances than test scores, or any other factors. So if you're worried about kids falling behind – as long as they're reading something they enjoy, they're doing the best thing they could be doing! #literacy

Attendance sees a tick in the box but.. It doesn’t see the before or after school. It doesn’t see the distress. It doesn’t see the impact. It doesn’t see how hard everyone tried. It doesn’t ever say maybe this isn’t okay.

Loving how our new reading installation has come together, celebrating a selection of the high quality texts we use across our curriculum.

This is our school’s ‘Quality Teaching and Learning Framework’ which I created to support coaches to give feedback to colleagues.

We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our beloved founder and chairman Peter Usborne CBE. Peter passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by his family.

Oh we do LOVE our #Livestreams and are so glad so many wonderful schools do too! Thank you to all those who joined us today! Happy Summer everyone 😎🎶🙏

Absolutely loved this that Alex saw in his new school a few weeks back, so of course I had to make one myself! Thank you to whoever the original creator was for the idea and to Alex for sharing ☺️ You can grab your own copy here if you want... dropbox.com/scl/fi/mnccsf5…

@foulkeswrites Waterstones Hanley Thank you! Bella was so happy to meet you. Totally star-struck! 🌟

A great Irish poet and singer left us today. She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time. Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor. Rest easy Sinéad.
