“As women achieve power, the barriers will fall. As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we’ll all be better off for it.” - Ruth Bader Ginsburg 💜 #IWD2026 #IWD #InternationalWomensDay

"Women are very slow to rouse, but once they are aroused, once they are determined, nothing on earth and nothing in heaven will make women give way; it is impossible." - Emmeline Pankhurst (in 'Suffragette Manifestos') 💪🏻 Happy International Women's Day #InternationalWomensDay

A timely reminder.

Which book are you hoping to find wrapped up under your Christmas tree this year? 🌲📚

“‘Diversity’ should just be called ‘reality.’ Your books, your TV shows, your movies, your articles, your curricula, need to reflect reality.” - Tananarive Due 📖 CLPE's new 'Reflecting Realities' report is out today. A MUST read 📖 #ReflectingRealities #edutwitter

"Enough to anyone who turns a blind eye to the violence so many women are subjected to. Enough condoning... euphemisms like ‘boys will be boys.’ Enough. Together we can, and we will, put an end to domestic violence." – Julian Castro #WhiteRibbonDay #ItStartswithMen

“Positive male role models foster healthy relationships by modelling respect, loving care and constructive communication by encouraging men and boys to form strong, supportive loving connections." - Warwick Marsh Celebrating REAL men on IMD 🥰 #InternationalMensDay

I think everyone who works in a primary school accepts that the curriculum is overloaded. We simply can't squeeze in everything that we're supposed to. However, there are two things that we must try and ensure take place each day: class storytime and independent reading.
