This is me completing my PGCE in 96! My world is full of teachers: best friends, colleagues, and trainee teachers. Many have told me the last 2 yrs in school have been the toughest ever. I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow #TeacherStrike

Thank you-these book lists are so useful :)
It can sometimes be hard to find children's books that reflect different family set-ups.

Why am I striking today?
I value a fair workload and a genuine commitment to well-being for myself, my colleagues and my students. This needs to be modelled from the top.
