Genuine wow moment listening to @lauramucha at #ASCELWOW24 describing her journey into poetry after a life-changing incident, and how literacy is more than having books to read, it’s also about having a safe haven - a place (libraries) and a person (librarians) ❤️

In partnership with @Literacy_Trust, I've done a virtual version of my FOOTBALL READING GAME for the men's Euros. It's free. For the classroom or the home. It promotes reading through #EURO24.
Please use and pass it on.

Another reason I quit teaching. Whoever brought data into education should be eviscerated with rusty barbed wire.

We are so proud of everyone who was involved in today's celebration event at Rotherham Civic Theatre. The poems performed by the young people were amazing, and it was an honour to watch and listen. #SpokenWordPower #Rotherham @phf_uk @EastsideLondon

We are so glad the children enjoyed the session @HowarthSchool @jmatschools. Thank you for having us! 😍
A fabulous morning exploring Viking textiles and jewellery with #RothSchoolsLib We also learnt about some very dubious hygiene practices - ear spoons and nose pickers! #jmatschools
