I divide most schools I visit into a cup of tea or a no cup of tea school, depending on how they treat visitors. Today's school was not only a cup of tea school, it was a pre-CPD pizza school. So take a bow Pakeman Primary, you were great. Thank you.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Some promising findings here from a pilot that trained up primary school teachers to deliver careers education. A version of that CPD is now going to be made available to all primary schools

This is so good from Cory Doctorow on all the tricks Amazon uses to get both consumers to pay more, and how businesses on the platform end up paying it 45-51 cents on every dollar.

Plus he rightly calls for regulatory change, not just individual consumer action

1. Dr. Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025

In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest.

What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world.

She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.
