People who haven’t met the wonderful @MrCFoyle often ask me if Dylan looks like him or me. He has my curly hair but I think that’s about it...

Always, always, always – make time to read to kids. Just 10 minutes a day can CHANGE THEIR LIVES FOREVER. I think story-time should be part of every school day, in secondaries as well as primaries! #literacy theguardian.com/books/2019/m… (Art: Dr Seuss)

This week we are talking to the children about keeping mentally healthy. Our focus is on the importance of sleep to maintain a healthy mind.

Amazing day today. This afternoon our Christingle Service at the church was superb. The children’s singing sounded magnificent, especially well done to the choir who sang brilliantly. Then, this evening, we welcomed the children back for their bedtime stories.

The biggest impact on school improvement is when everybody pushes in the same direction and believes in what they’re doing. That genuinely is the thing that makes a difference.

What makes a child become a lifelong reader? Not the ability to get good marks on a test. Not the desire to get a good job. It's PLEASURE. Kids who read for pleasure grow up to be adults who read for themselves – and think for themselves. #literacy

Whenever I visit schools that do @clpe1 Power Of Reading, I meet kids whose lives have been changed by it. Kids who thought reading was for other people, but got it with the Power Of Reading & now can't stop. If you don't already do it, sign up now! #literacy
