What is The Teachers' Collection?
We suggest texts to underpin teaching in every subject. We’ve found some great texts, shown how they link to the NC programmes of study, drafted some downloadable outline plans, and pulled together important vocabulary for each unit.

Why not check whether it's in our PSHE collection?
Our unit plans can be used to teach a whole unit, or you could choose a couple of the activities to help your class respond to the book. https://buff.ly/492sLnI
