[Daniel Woodfield · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three and a half stars, mainly because it is very primary school focused and I read it after a year on a salaried training route into teaching. Lots packed in and a helpful all in one resource, but all covered by good training in ITT and discussions with colleagues. Very positive vibe throughout.

I read this one as a trainee, and loved it.

So many useful hints and tips for ECTs but also for trainees! Thanks, Mr T.
