A Litdrive member, in their own words. Behind every download is a teacher finding their footing.

I have a free copy of our Dr Jekyll Ready to Teach book. Something to help with planning this year.

Will pick a name out of the hat on Sunday 6th September.

I’ve won tickets from my school to go the @researchED1 National Conference this Saturday and it’s my first time attending! Who else is going? Anyone from Colchester or who is passing it on the way? #rED26

Good luck to all students picking up their GCSE results and other qualifications today.
We are all so proud of the determination, hard work and resilience that you have shown.
A huge thank you also to all our school staff who have shown such incredible support throughout.

Planning some lessons today, so I took a copy of one of the set texts home with me. Nothing quite beats the nonchalant bluntness of school graffiti

And that's a wrap!
Thank you for all of your support in 2025/2026!
We're having a break too, but to find out first about our plans for 2026/2027, sign up to our Member Bulletin buff.ly/3qSOKfk

We would like to wish all our schools, staff, students, governors and communities a very happy and relaxing summer holidays.
I'm happy to report that I'm moving onto pastures new in September as KS3 Lead: English at The Trinity School. It's sad to be closing my chapter as a cog in the engine that is Paxman Academy, but I'm excited to open another chapter in the ongoing story! 🍎 #GetIntoTeaching
Has anyone done Armitage's stage adaptation of Homer's Odyssey? @DavidDidau, I saw you planned this in as part of the curriculum at OAT. Any comments? Did you do The Last Days of Troy as well?
Planning for the year ahead, does anyone in @Team_English1 that could suggest any Greek plays that work well for Year 8? It's a bonus if it links to one of the myths. #TeamEnglish

If there was ever a case for asking students to write out the full date, rather than an 01/01/01 shorthand, it’s tomorrow…
