Excited to share, accepted a part-time teaching role for next year. Giving me time to run workshops with pupils on the core themes from my forthcoming book Learning Habits. One person that retweets, likes and follows will win a free full day of workshops for their school

Wow 🀩, blown away by the talent on display at Londgendale High School annual school production. This year audiences were treated to Roald Dahls Matilda. The cast were fabulous and a huge thanks has to go to Mr Marsh, Mr Dixon and Mr Emanuel for all their hard work and support
