Enormously honoured to be asked to open Cardwell Primary's newly reburbished library tomorrow. We were so happy that we could contribute to the amazing @abcbookclubuk's project.

Thank you to @ElthamCollegeUK for a very successful book drive during half term. As well as 100s of preloved books we also found these brand new books purchased for us by the school community for donation to primary school libraries.
How completely lovely of them

Sums up today perfectly

Thanks to everyone who has donated books for the ABC book drive so far. The drive ends on Friday, so there's still a couple of days left any last-minute donations of quality children's fiction in good condition.

Macbeth lesson today - as the students are packing up, one asks another if he's done his science homework.

The response?

"Throw physics to the dog, I'll none of it!"

Very impressed.

Really excited to be welcoming Nii Ayikwei Parkes to school on Thursday as part of our celebrations of #NationalPoetryDay.

Great to see how popular our sixth-form creative writing club is becoming! A number of students taking only sciences/maths attending too - it’s not just for English students!

In the middle of the way
under the wet of late September..
Rain-logged berries and stones
Are rained upon, acorns
shine from grassy verges..
