A huge thank you to the brilliant Sarah Crossan and the inimitable Ms Arduino for a superb lunchtime Q&A celebrating creativity, resilience and our students’ prize-winning poems. Well done to all students & to our peerless host, librarian Ms Evans. @BedesHead @SarahCrossan

If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know I’ve been banging this drum for years. Libraries are statutory in prisons (rightly) and not in schools (very, very wrongly). This takes a minute to sign, but countless lives could be changed - please spare it a moment of your time xxx
If you would like to see a library & a librarian in every school, for every child - please sign & share this petition to make them a statutory requirement!

Every single school needs a library.
Every single child needs a librarian in their life.
Because librarians create the readers of the future!

Telling lies about what was being taught in sex ed in schools was one of the ways section 28 started. Eagerly enabled by the Mail / Telegraph / Sun, of course.
We cannot let these dreadful people, who want kids to live in shame, fear and ignorance, do this again.

I can finally announce that I've been collaborating on a dark YA illustrated tale for @TwoHootsBooks, with illustrations provided by the brilliant Emily Gravett! Island of Whispers will be published this autumn, and it's looking very, very pretty...
.@TwoHootsBooks has signed Island of Whispers, a "compelling" YA gothic fairytale by @FrancesHardinge with "atmospheric" illustrations by Emily Gravett.

Lovely to welcome Lisa Heathfield to ‘Brilliant Books & Biscuits’ to discuss our shared text for February - ‘I am Not A Number’. There’s nothing like hearing about the creative process from a writer, especially one as fascinating as @LisaHeathfield. @bedesnews @BedesLibrary

Throughout February, we will share resources via our PSHE website to encourage pupils to talk about the bigger picture of LGBT+ experience, in which LGBT+ people were the agents of change. This year, the theme is #BehindTheLens, celebrating LGBT+ peoples’ contribution to cinema.

To find out why my first priority as a new Head was to restore a library at the heart of our school- and why libraries are more important now than ever before - have a read of my latest blog post:

We call them children's books, but really, they're books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one - and you can never, ever be too old to read them! I wrote about some of my all-time favourites in this piece for @Foyles :

Children's books are the cornerstone of our culture. They're the books that make us readers & shape us in the deepest ways. Even if the media ignore them, we all know how vital they are. So THANK YOU to everyone who's been sharing, celebrating & championing children's books!
