And the Abbey itself was there, fading in the last magnetic flush from the horizon, with its quiet groups of coffee-drinkers and card-players under the Tree of Idleness.

Oh my! Just got my copy of ' retelling of Under Milk Wood. Loved studying it at school 30 years ago, listening to the vinyl recording of Dylan Thomas reading it. Such a memorable opening. This is a gorgeously exquisite book with the most delicious illustrations. 🤩

So glad you have visited Jon - last year they achieved 100% in Reading, despite serious disadvantage. One of the most effective schools in the country; an example in my view of what every child should be entitled to... it can be done. And - lovely, warm-hearted people! @son1bun

First short walk for a while on long recovery from pneumonia. Tired out but a robin sang to me and there were lots of pairs of gold finches darting about, ready to cheer me up.

40 pupils came to my office to borrow books today. I love the conversations we have about authors, illustrators, books and even publishers. Some parents came into my office with their kids after our Y6 SATs session after school. A fabulous finish to a really successful day 💙📚

Attended meeting of the English Public Libraries Strategic Working Group convened by yesterday and came away inspired by the sheer range, ambition and impact of activities in local library services. Yes, times are hard, but #libraries are making a huge difference.

What wise advice from Simon! I’ve seen this working with hundreds of heads over many years. 😃
Quote Tweet
I have been a head at the same school for almost 9 years.
The thing that stood out on talking to to a visiting head yesterday is that none of the real improvements were quick fixes.
True improvement takes time. Making it stick takes time , focus, commitment and staying power.

A bit of #UnderMilkWood before school this morning. A cracking adaption which retains the essence and atmosphere of the original.
