@englishspecial I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb.

[Donal Hale @HaleDonal]

@GCSE_Macbeth Completely agree!

[Adam 🏳️‍🌈✨🪩 @_MrLevick]

Secondary colleagues: Understand your Y7s. Know the primary curriculum. Identify gaps before they arrive. Address issues they’ll have accessing curriculum. Teach your routines explicitly. Give them chance to get it wrong safely. Set high expectations with support and guidance.

Another 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review for Leading Secondary English from @BloomsburyEd from @SGraham_83.

Thank you for your kind words!

[Donal Hale @HaleDonal]

@adamboxer1 North of England, so it's a very diffferent context (even as a start up!).

[Donal Hale @HaleDonal]

@adamboxer1 It's definitely been hugely influential, but I agree not scaleable as you suggest.

After I visited it completely changed me (for the better).

Our prior attainment score is just below 101, for example - and we have a higher proportion of PP (60%), and are in the... /1

[Donal Hale @HaleDonal]

@WhTeaMaster Thanks, William. Let me know your thoughts!
