Incredible work from Helen - to summarise all of the In Action books, giving a flavour of what they're all about. Check this out.

Reform UK were rejected by more than 70% of voters yesterday, and the media is treating the result as terminal for Labour while almost entirely ignoring the fact that most people said no to the hatred, the division and the bigotry. That is the actual story.

.@SkyNews now projecting a national vote share for Reform of 27%, based on results so far. That’s four points down on what they achieved in local elections last year. Somewhat of a counter to the prevailing narrative.

Excited to attend today's Reading Conference at Himley Hall. I'm looking forward to learning a great deal more and supporting other schools in their implementation journey

How can schools start using multimodal texts to boosting reading culture?

@jonnybid is here at #PrimCon26 with one powerful route to reading... 📚

[Jon Biddle @jonnybid]

Our Reading Champions spent some time this week finding out about which children's books are being published in 2026 and then helping create a display. It was fantastic to see other pupils getting excited about a new book in a favourite series or from a favourite author.

[Teresa Cremin CBE @TeresaCremin]

A grey morning but inside Westminster we focused on reading proficiency and developing the habit of reading. I hope my contribution helped. @eduHelenHendry @ricketts_lara @jotaylor2306 and Jeanne Shinskey were brilliant colleagues. @HouseofCommons

[Angela Schofield TVTTagTeam @HTSchofield]

A real treat to read this over the weekend. Just what I needed to take my mind off a broken wrist that’s not healing as well as I wanted. Thanks @CharteredColl for including my very small contribution amongst all these brilliant colleagues.

So proud of our ‘Reading Comprehension’ Regional Partnership participants. Once again, they went ‘all in’ during Module 5. All schools now have Reading Implementation plans, which we will be unpicking and adjusting in Module 6. @son1bun @traceya75 @dudleymbc
