Itโ€™s superb. And in my opinion, so much better than Wuthering Heights. (Runs and hides) but not as good as The Tenant of Wildfell hall. Ann Brontรซ is the lesser known but superlative novelist ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Hi- could anyone point me towards someone who produced a month teaching learning booklet for colleagues? Recent research, articles, science of learning, direct instruction, retrieval practiceโ€ฆ. Something like that. Interested in launching our own and could do with some advice. Thanks

A superb production. I was lucky enough to get a ticket for this. Andrew Scott was a brilliant Hamlet.

I have a student doing this for their A2 coursework text. It is excellent. Lots to think and write about. Highly recommend for coursework/ NEA.

Best decision Iโ€™ve ever made was to move home after 18 years in England. Never looked back. Just need to find a permanent job now!! Few and far between

I loved it. A slow- burner, taking its time to tell the story

The fall of Eng Lit What is the cause, is it a problem - and if so, what can we do about it?

A lot of discussion lately about the reasons for the decline of Eng Lit A-level.

Are the Gove curriculum & exam reforms to blame?

I don't think so, because the decline of Eng Lit / the humanities more broadly is a global trend.

More here.

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know.

Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winterโ€™s day.
