About the Book

If you thought reading Gervaise Phinn was like drinking a warm cup of tea this book will knock you over with the force of a vodka slammer. Mr Read survives the nightmare of planning, Ofsted and an incompetent head ...He also takes the class to Ireland, the House of Commons and wins a film award. We guarantee Christmas Lights, The School Trip and Stressbusters will make you laugh out loud. A searing indictment of our joyless, exam ridden primary curriculum...I want everyone to imagine primary schools without SATs, league tables, Ofsted, strategies, wall-to-wall planning.Imagine you may say Im a dreamer but Im not the only one. - Mr Read Down-to-earth and outrageously funny, this guide will prove essential reading for all teachers everywhere.
