Students 11-16yo are at high risk of suffering Post-Wimpy Kid Syndrome (PWKS). Symptoms include reluctance to read anything other than 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' and low mood after finishing the Wimpy Kid books. Fortunately @booksfortopics have a great poster of suggestions!

It was amazing to see Year 7s up and leading their peers in a nail-biting quiz on their football knowledge

... And we especially appreciated you sticking around to speak with our older students about a career in sports writing. I'm sure your insights will stick with them for a long time

A glowing review from judge Keri
Across the school, we have student judges who have been reading and reviewing the @jhalakprize longlist books. This is what they have been reading🧵1/n

This morning, a man walks past students waiting to board their coach for a trip outside school. One remarks, 'That looks like that @MichaelRosenYes guy'. The man stops and says, 'That's because I am Michael Rosen!' Thank you for talking to our students, you made their day!

As well as the message, I love the 'currently reading' bracket!

Sadly, we won't be able to loan students books over the summer while we're reorganising the library. Luckily, we're doing a sign-up drive with @haringeylibrary! Come to Mr Auerbach George to get your sign-up form verified and you can pick up your card today

The figures are in and we can officially announce the most-borrowed books at Heartlands this year! 🤯 Which ones have you read? As the school librarian, I'm not surprised to see @Zendibble's writing dominating the charts 📚 #GreatSchoolLibraries

If you’re passing by Alexandra Palace train station (on your way here to @bluehouseyard!), pop in and see our tenant @art_by_eq on the final stage of his #allypallymural for @AllyPallySt. Seems to be getting a lot of love already. #publicart #mural #haringey #allypally – at Islington, London
The wizard at work! @art_by_eq sprinkling his magic and outstanding passion for this project! 🙌 Not only the station & Bedford Rose Garden, but trains from 1850s-2020s, @Yourallypally, @startinggateN22, @HHSHaringey, @SiemensMobility and the 💚 of @haringeycouncil in one mural!

When politicians talk of 'closing the gap' in education, is it actually possible in terms of eg GCSE marks? Isn't the distribution of marks fixed before the students sit down to do the exam? The gap is pre-arranged. It's a stipulated gap. An arranged gulf. A pre-ordered split.

Best part of my job this week: delivering a free #BookBuzz book to every Year 7 student, and watching them dive straight in!

The #WorldBookDay celebrations continued across last week. Students who wrote in questions to @FleurHitchcock received copies of her book, and one student won the @HHSComputing competition by coding an amazing mystery gamebook!
