Mine fell in love with history this year. I’ve checked the curriculum for next year and we’re off to hit the museums to get ahead!

Pottering around the Remainders Room in Waterstones as E finds a corner to start her new book, followed by coffee and cake… just about the loveliest way to wile away a Sunday afternoon

When there’s a mountain to climb and a sun to set, there are worse ways to do it

The most wonderful day getting lost in the woods. Treasures found, trees climbed, dens made. Dreamy.

Thanks Luke!

It’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

Last year the wonderful Stemettes released a White Paper that demonstrates the invisibility of women scientists in the school curriculum.

It’s time to end sexism in STEM and end sexism in schools.

We won’t be celebrating World Book Day this year. Our research shows that in 2022 only 2% of GCSE pupils studied a whole text - a novel or a play - by a female author. Three years later little has changed.
