“With a fine disregard…”: A Portrait of Rugby School
Founded in 1567 by Lawrence Sheriff, Grocer to Queen Elizabeth I, Rugby School grew to national fame under Dr Thomas Arnold in the early nineteenth-century as a model for progressive boarding school education, a model subsequently replicated throughout Britain and Empire.
Rugby combines an illustrious past with a progressive spirit. Other famous names include the Doctor’s fictional pupil Tom Brown, the legendary founder of rugby football William Webb Ellis, ‘who with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it’, and literary luminaries like the poet Rupert Brooke and children’s author Lewis Carroll. Today Rugby maintains many valuable traditions such as the boarding house system, the cultivation of educated all-rounders and service to the community, but it is also seen as a leading coeducational boarding school, offering state-of-the-art facilities in many subjects (languages, science, sport, design) and taking a lead in the development of local inter-school partnership and access, through its Arnold Foundation, to less-well-off boys and girls who can benefit significantly from a boarding school education. Respect for tradition goes hand in hand with response to the needs of the modern world.
This first full-colour celebration of Rugby School offers a richly illustrated and elegantly produced account of Rugby in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with, in this case, a fine disregard for the rules of scientific scholarship as developed in our time. A distinctive feature of the book is its emphasis on the first-hand accounts of living Rugbeians of every age and stage – as well as the records of deceased Rugbeians – to give a vividly personal portrayal of School life as it was and is lived day-to-day.
“This is the first book on Rugby School for 40 years and the response from all those who have bought it or seen it has been tremendous.” Kerry Wilson, Development Director
Book of the Month – Rugby World Magazine (June 2007 issue)

A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment for Severe, Complex and Profound Learning Disabilities (Connecting Research with Practice in Special and Inclusive Education)
A Different View of Curriculum and Assessment links a theoretical pedagogical model with a sympathetic practical model of curriculum and assessment difference for those with PMLD, CLD and SLD.
Split into two parts, this accessible resource combines theoretical explanations with first-hand accounts of how this works in educational establishments, through the analysis of evidence-based practice carried out in a number of English special (specialist) schools. The expert authors challenge the notion that a national, or common core standards, curriculum, however expertly differentiated, is fit-for-purpose for the PMLD, CLD and SLD populations in any country. A Different View offers cogent and reasoned arguments for considering that irrespective of age, such learners learn differently to their neuro-typical, conventionally developing peers. If they learn differently, this book shows how we should be teaching them differently.
Reflecting the centrality of process over product, this book will clearly explain how each individual learner might be enabled and facilitated to become the best they can be and do the best they can do, in order to fully realise their potential as equal and independent citizens.

A Quiet Education: Challenging the extrovert ideal in our schools
‘A Quiet Education’ serves as an unashamed cheerleader for all that is quiet, challenging the myth that collaboration and noise should be at the heart of what happens in schools. It examines how we can ensure more introverted students and teachers can thrive and achieve their potential. It also explores why it is essential that all teachers begin to embrace quieter values: in their classrooms and management of behaviour; in sustaining their own wellbeing; in their desire to reflect meaningfully and improve as a teacher. The final section is an exploration of quieter skills: how we can strengthen our students’ metacognitive ability; their ability to listen, pay attention and focus; the quality of independent work we do in the classroom alongside how we can motivate all our students.Read more

“Adam is a shining star. He is one of those truly gifted teachers that students love. Adam’s passion for teaching and for the content of his subject are inspiring. Recently, I observed a 90-minute social studies lesson in his classroom. The lesson was flawless from beginning to end. Adam’s lesson reflected his knowledge of best teaching practices. He captured students’ interest, used a variety of instructional strategies, and checked for understanding throughout the lesson. Adam is a gift to the teaching profession.

Behaviour: The Lost Modules
Oh hey! Thank you for being here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jen Foster and I am an educator.A few years ago, I started an Instagram account dedicated to teaching. I started by just sharing everything and anything and loving having a community of keen beans like me. But it didn′t take me long to spot something quite odd. Scrolling through thousands of teachers′ experiences around the world there were two things that stood out like a sore thumb: Behaviour was this huge obstacle in teaching;The guidance around behaviour was either inconsistent, vague or unhelpful.
So, I decided to learn everything I could about behaviour. I explored outside the education shelves and bought way too many books about neuroscience, positive psychology, business, and parenting. The more I learnt, the more I reflected on my own practice and my own experiences in schools. I asked educators in my community their opinions on behaviour, and this is what I found out:
93% felt that they had inadequate behaviour training as a trainee teacher
88% feel they have inadequate behaviour training as a qualified teacherSo, isn′t it about time we shined a spotlight on behaviour?
Behaviour: The lost Modules is the book you wish you had read before stepping into a classroom. The book you wish had been required reading on your university reading list. A book that is practical, easy to read and tells you what you need to know about behaviour in primary schools. A book by a teacher for teachers, drawing on common sense, personal experiences and current research.

Biology Made Real: Ways of Teaching that Inspire Meaning-Making
‘This outstanding book… deserves to be very widely read. I hope it makes a major contribution to how school biology is taught.’
—Dr Michael J. Reiss, Professor of Science Education, University of London‘This is a book that all teachers, not just biology teachers should read.’
—Ben Strathearn-Burrows, Head of Biology, Emanuel SchoolIntroduction
I’ve been motivated to discover what biology is to us as humans. What it means to understand biology, and how I could make it meaningful for my students. I’ve read as much as I could and reflected, I’ve discussed and listened, I’ve taught and observed. This book is about sharing what I’ve learnt with my secondary-school mixed-attainment biology classes.‘Not only is this book likely to change how you teach biology but also how you perceive yourself within the living world.’
—Dr Alex Sinclair, Institute of Education, St Mary’s University, TwickenhamWhat you’ll find inside:
- A vision for an integrated and meaningful biology education.
- A framework for teaching for meaning-making, which cuts planning time.
- Ways of creating a unified narrative across disparate topics.
- A taxonomy of understanding that unlocks problem-solving with minimal workload.
- Tried and tested examples from mixed-attainment biology classrooms.
Chapter 1: Meaningful biology relates principally to organisms:
This sets the scene for the whole book. It brings together many threads to define what I see as most meaningful to secondary biology students. And therefore what we could do about it when designing our lessons & curricula and thinking about how students progress through their biology education. Planning for meaning-making has vastly enhanced interest and motivation to learn in my classroom.Chapters 2 & 3: Teaching for meaning using variation theory:
Next I introduce a powerful—relatively unknown and often misunderstood—pedagogical theory. Variation theory. In these chapters I set out to show how useful it is—and easy to use—in the secondary biology classroom, with many examples.Chapter 4: How to integrate organisms, ecology & evolution:
Now I pull together the previous chapters to present a new framework for teaching for meaning-making that cuts planning time & focuses on biology.‘An excellent text demanding we think not just about what we teach but also why and how.’
—Dr Paul Ganderton, Consultant and researcherChapter 5: Concepts of the organism that unite a biology course:
Here I discuss two concepts that I think can unify all the topics on the curriculum.
1. Seeing biology through thermodynamic systems lens and
2. Seeing biology through an ecological-evolutionary lens via the concept of life strategies. I lay out the reasons why and discuss how I’ve introduced these ideas with students.Chapter 6: Teaching systems thinking to help students see interconnectedness:
I show how stock and flow diagrams are very useful for the biology classroom and give examples. Next, I introduce a new taxonomy of understanding biological systems that unlocks problem-solving in biology.Chapter 7: Establishing a thinking classroom:
This chapter is focused on the whys and hows of embedding the taxonomy into biology curricula. I give examples of how I use it and examples of my students answers from lower and upper secondary courses.Chapter 8: Navigating classroom and biological complexity:
This chapter rounds up the book by considering the complexity of our subject and the classroom.‘Biology Made Real comes with an education health warning—be prepared to have your beliefs challenged.’
