I grew up in Birmingham, born to Irish parents who loved drugs more than me, I had a baby at 16,was homeless & helpless...I am now an award winning academic-grants worth millions, publications,a loving family & a full heart! This is my thank you to the people who saved me!

Wow what a read! Haven't read a whole book in one sitting for a while but just could not put this down. A must read for all teachers and anyone who works in supporting young people. Katriona O'Sullivan

Have just finished this book by Katriona O'Sullivan. It was an incredible story and I couldn’t put it down so finished it in less than two days. I’d say it’s a definite ‘must read’ for school leaders to help understand what it can be like for a child growing up poor.

A really useful 8 minute CPD and insight. Lots of ways to then follow up on and well worth watching. 📚

I want to write about exclusion. I've written about loneliness but I'm increasingly interested in the social dynamics of leaving people out. If anyone has stories about being excluded, excluding someone else or witnessing exclusion, I'd like to hear them. You can DM me. Thanks!

As the National Ploughing Championships get underway today, we are looking at Heaney’s poem, ‘Follower' from his first collection in 1966. In this first section of the poem, Heaney celebrates his father's expertise and describes the process of ploughing a field. #Ploughing24

The trailer for SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE starring Cillian Murphy is here!
