On Wednesday I represented my country & spoke to an audience of over 2200 people, from 190 countries around the world, at the @OneYoungWorld conference regarding my lived experience of mental illness & attempting suicide. I was immensely grateful to receive a standing ovation.

Billy Weir reviews the @channel5_tv #ChallengeAnneka reboot: ‘Simpler than Treasure Hunt’s convoluted clues’ "To those not in the know (i.e, those aged below 40) Anneka Rice was a huge star and Challenge a massively popular staple of Saturday evenings." bit.ly/3GbmVDF

Put together some revision resources for Yr11. A countdown calendar from Easter until the exam with suggested tasks, a colour coded revision table and some double sided A6 cue cards for key quotes. Procrastination at its best! Let me know if you fancy them
