The Education Show was extremely busy today and we have had a great time talking to people from all over the UK and beyond! We did a lot of networking and a good number of schools have expressed an interest in our Schools Programme from both the UK and from overseas.

We met up again with Celia Stone, a member of our advisory board, who
was presenting her Addacus at the show.
Thank you to Ken Rostrum for spending time with us today as well as our
wonderful Franchisees who travelled to the show to be with us and talk
to people at the show.
Many thanks to Chris Collins, Nafisa and Fahima Rahimi, Sejal
and Chirag Patel and Carolyn Williams who came up from Exeter.
We have had a great Education Show, met some exciting and interesting
people and are extremely grateful to our franchisees for their support over
the past three days.
Yes, it was great fun and so lovely to meet up with friends again. My highlight was on Friday, when I was lucky enough to attend the National Literacy Forum. The purpose of the day was to produce a manifesto publication about the future of reading. I’ll keep everyone posted. We had some interesting discussions and heard some great speakers; author Aidan Chambers, Professor David Crystal, Wendy Cooling from Bookstart and – best of all – Michael Rosen, whose talk was entertaining, stimulating and provocative. Just brilliant!
