Children will always need BOOKS to help them make sense of the world. I love the idea that children's books can be bridges connecting all children, crossing all barriers, helping them to imagine a better world – and to build it, one day. #books www.theguardian.com/childrens-bo...

I'm excited to be talking about the life-changing power of reading for pleasure at this @staustelllitfest.bsky.social event for teachers, librarians & all school staff in Cornwall! Come & join on us on June 12! www.ticketsource.co.uk/cornwall-edu...

If we care about the future of our children, we need a library & a librarian in every school, to help every child find the books that will make them readers. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER - and they're more vital now than ever! #libraries #librarians #literacy

Primary schools have a huge role to play. We need to teach digital literacy. Enable them to “think with care” (Laura Knight). Preparing them to use keyboards - how many words can pupils type per a minute? @inspiringsw.bsky.social @celtacademies.bsky.social

Great start to the weekend @inspiringsw.bsky.social AI in education conference. Perfectly pitched introduction by @moremorrow.bsky.social

Teachers in Cornwall. Less than a month to go until this fantastic opportunity. Have you got your tickets? #readingchamgeslives #reading #teachers #education #learning #cornwall @moremorrow.bsky.social @celtacademies.bsky.social

This is going to be a fun way to help raise funds for the festival and get to meet some of the authors. Have you got your tickets? #cornwall #readingforpleasure

What an awesome day! Grappling with Learning and Teaching framework ideas. The future of learning in @celtacademies.bsky.social is very exciting. We are privileged to have such open and humble leaders.

We are so excited to share that @whatsfsaid.bsky.social will be talking to school staff in Cornwall about the life changing power of reading for pleasure on 12th June. Grab your free tickets now #cornwall #teachers #schools #readingforpleasure www.ticketsource.co.uk/cornwall-edu...

Always such a privilege to be a member of @uklitassociation.bsky.social awards committee. So much inspiration to be taken from the Literacy School of the Year and Our Class Loves this Book entries. So much evidence of the impact quality books and reading teachers can make

Isn’t it a gem Coral! We are so lucky that @afharrold.com will be visiting St Austell in June for @staustelllitfest.bsky.social We will be really celebrating this book

This is awesome👇🏻

Shared reading has lifelong benefits. But our research shows that children whose parents or carers like reading themselves are more likely to develop a love of reading. That's why it's so important we support families to share stories together: www.booktrust.org.uk/resources/fi...

Tickets are NOW LIVE! Look at our brand new website, meet the incredible authors & illustrators coming. Tickets are only £1 – really!. Book now – staustellfestivalofchildrensliterature.com/2025-festival/ - and tag families across Cornwall who’d love to join the fun #ReadingForPleasure #KidsLit

A thought for the new term. READING FOR PLEASURE is the most important thing in education: more important than any test scores, or any of the hoops we make our kids jump through. So whatever else you do, please never stop helping kids find books to read & love. It will change their lives! #literacy

1. Leave the Trees Please Benjamin Zephaniah & Melissa Castrillon @magiccatpublishing.bsky.social

We want to wish our CELT/Plymouth Marjon University trainees all the best as they prepare for their final term training in our schools 📚 It's been incredible to see them develop their confidence in the classroom over the year and we're looking forward to celebrating with them when they graduate 🎉

We have lots of anecdotal evidence about the impact of the festival. This year we are undertaking a formal research project into the difference attending festival events might make to children’s reading attitudes and habits. Really excited about this! #research #readingforpleasure

Can’t believe it’s only 8 weeks until @staustelllitfest.bsky.social is back for a third year connecting authors and books to the community to share the reading for pleasure message #cornwall #reading #books

SPEAKER INTRO: We're pleased that Caitlin Gould will be speaking at our AI in Education conference on 17 May! 🤩 Caitlin is the co-founder of TECwomen CIC and runs the TECgirls project to inspire young girls and address the gender gap in tech, engineering and creative digital spaces.

A warm welcome to pupils and families joining our CELT community in September! 🤩 Starting school is an exciting journey, and we're here to support you every step of the way. We can't wait for all the learning, laughter, and memorable moments ahead!✨ #NationalOfferDay

I am often asked how to get boys into reading. I honestly don't think boys are different to anyone else. If you want them to love reading - JUST LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! Whatever those things might be, they are the things that make us all into readers. #literacy (Art: Bill Watterson)

Getting the final touches sorted of the new blog ‘Bridging the Gap’ sorted. The idea is that an academic & a practitioner answer a question linked to working in UK schools The aim is to understand if/where/why there is a gap between theory & practice so that we can bridge it to all of our benefit!

Small acts of kindness to work colleagues, offering support to communities or simply finding time for yourself can spark powerful waves of positivity. #LeadWithLove #StressAwarenessMonth

Hooray! CPD in Cornwall.

We want to take a moment to thank everyone for their passion and commitment to making a difference to children and young people in Cornwall 🙏 Check out CELT Connect, our termly newsletter showcasing the good work in every school in our Trust ✨ heyzine.com/flip-book/CE...

Every single school should have a school library & a school librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay #SchoolLibraryMonth

Bloomin' love my job but also bloomin' love that tonight I drove home in evening sunshine ready to enjoy two weeks of Easter in my 'castle' with my crew, getting my hands in the soil and reconnecting my busy brain with the world beyond my education bubble. Time to reflect and prepare.

The quiet revolution in school improvement. Absolutely brilliant from @steverollett.bsky.social @cstvoice.bsky.social #Collaboration #SystemLeadership www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Guess what., everyone? @openuni-rfp.bsky.social is finally here!!!! 📚📚📚📚 Woo hoo!

What a very happy coincidence! Jennifer Killick’s latest book in the @readingrocks.bsky.social sub box and the very same author on our favourite podcast @islandofbrilliant.bsky.social #readingforpleasure #authors #books

Only 75 days until this year’s festival. We’ve got so much to share. Look out for all the info coming soon #resdingforpleasure #authors #books #reading #Cornwall #schools #Devon #festivals

An urgent review and joined up thinking is needed to inform a major rethink of how we ensure all of our children get the education and support they need without bankrupting Local Authorities, Academy Trusts and schools
