Shortlisted for the Teach Primary Awards 2026
I’m delighted to share some exciting news: my book, Metacognitive Teaching: How to Narrow the Attainment Gap and Promote Equity in the Classroom, published by Bloomsbury Education, has been shortlisted in the CPD category of the Teach Primary Awards 2026. Seeing the word SHORTLISTED next to a book that grew out of years of thinking, teaching, learning and questioning is a very special moment. And being recognised in the CPD category makes it particularly meaningful.
