The National Association for Primary Education speaks for young children in our schools and all who work with them, be part of that voice. Children aged 0-13.

You may be wondering what we stand for: please visit nape.org.uk to find out.

We do get asked, 'why don't you pay writers for their articles?'. That's because we are a purely voluntary organization and our members give their time. We do though accept that authors could be paid but we cannot stretch to that. Little money in this vocation.

We are calling for articles for our March 2024 issue. No theme this time around. If interested please DM. Articles considered in English, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Gaelic, Scots, Romani.

The reason that Department for Education and government surveillance is problematic is because they're trying to shut down dissenting voices by funding all the inputs. Not really sure why people are being so naive about this. 😒🤷‍♀️

You would need to explain how teachers could accept this as part of Fundamental British Values. The bit about accepting the rule of law, especially when the Supreme Court has blocked it. You know, a British court.

My 4 year old son has decided he is going to tell his teacher that he is an Irish Traveller.

His teacher already knows, but he feels confident enough with her that he is willing to let her in on who he is.

It's a big step for him, so let's wish him luck 🙏.

We have written articles and editorials signifying the problem of a failing welfare system (and how schools are filling the beach). ft.com/content/6d5ccc…

- Secondary is 23% lower than 2019 😱

Please tune into BBC Radio 4 on Monday 13th November, 8.30pm. Myself Teresa Cremin (and others) are interviewed by The wonderful Julia Donaldson. I was a lot star-struck, speaking to the author of The Gruffalo! I spoke about creating and sustaining a RfP culture! It was a blast!
