Hello!
I'm Marc, an Assistant Headteacher and Year 6 teacher living in Leeds.
I've created this website to blog about my ideas related to primary education and curriculum, as well as share resources, ideas and reflections that I hope make a positive difference to at least one person out there.
Enjoy!
