@johncoxhead8 @MrKPrimaryTeach @chrisdysonHT @Headteacherchat Hi John, I would love to use the trackers at my school. Is there an editable version of the KS1 and KS2 ones? Our cohorts have 60 children. The sheets on the website also seem to be protected so I can’t copy/paste names directly into that, or delete the example rows.

Sensational storytelling from @mazevansauthor - The Last Bard is a celebration of Shakespeare & the true power of a story. With lovable characters treated akin to Oliver/Cinderella & then crossed with The Parent Trap plot twist, it’s ace!

Our friend A.M. Dassu has a gorgeous book publishing next month - Wild Journey. Beautifully illustrated by Joe Lillington, this collection of adventure stories aimed at ages 7+ is inspired by the migratory journey of the starling. Order via our website and she'll also sign! ❤️

I must have spoken to well over 100 headteachers across the country recently and they're all saying the same things:

Many, many more pupils with complex SEND needs.
More challenging behaviour and at a younger age.
Too little specialist provision.
Frustrated families.
Social Services bar too high.
Public services skint and burnt out staff.
No real Ofsted reform.
Falling birth rates.
People are angry.
Communities in despair.
Funding that’s nowhere near enough.

Schools are holding the system together but it’s becoming unsustainable - they can't keep asking more and more of staff, with less and less. Something has to give.

Without urgent reform and real investment, I'm worried that this could be the year we've all known was coming and education finally breaks.

What an inspiration Josephine Baker was & I learnt so much reading Dance of Resistance - @catwrote’s research is so thorough. What a resilient life she led! Your class won’t be able to put this down. Out now for 9+. Thanks @BarringtonStoke

Every autumn my family and I ask teaching & library staff to nominate a child who could do with a reading or personal boost, to be one of 50 children we will gift one of my books, signed, dedicated & wrapped for Christmas. You can find more details here:

Very excited to visit a BRAND NEW BOOKSHOP in London to sign copies of my books! The new @Ibraaz bookshop is run by @BurleyFisher & has a truly global range of books, with an especially brilliant children's books selection! And now they have signed copies of Tyger & Varjak Paw!

Non-book related post! My eldest is desperate to see Ariana Grande in London next year. Sadly I have failed to secure tickets both in the presale and the general sale despite being online for ages. If anyone is looking to sell 2 or 3 tickets, I’d be interested. No trolls please!

@mjdaisywrites @annabelwriter My daughter reads super quickly and finishes books in a day - reading slowly is not a bad thing, you’ll want this series to last as long as possible so enjoy every page! You’re going to love it all x

[MrsW @MrsWelshAHT]

Sadly, I have now finished this masterpiece. I have cried and smiled and laughed out loud. It was the most beautiful way to end the series, and even though I am sad it is over, I think readers will feel satisfied with the conclusion. @annabelwriter has outdone herself. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Wonderland Bookshop @Wonder_Bookshop]

Here is my 8th creation for alternative reads to David Walliams, this time focusing on The Beast of Buckingham Palace. These are ones I’ve particularly enjoyed but what else would you add?
