Getting started… Sometimes it's the hardest thing to do... So the day has come. The glorious day when revision will be done. Facts will be learned, knowledge will be gained and success assured. Unfortunately as you might suspect, it might not be quite that simple. Having worked in schools for the best part of 20 years, I think it’s fair…
How to make revision feel less like revision. The HOW might be more important than the WHEN? One thing about education is the cyclical nature of the activity. Year on year, things don’t much change. The classroom of 1900 isn’t that far removed from the classrooms of 2000. Unless of course a global pandemic arrives, changes things and then we…

I was starkly reminded of this this week. It was Monday morning and, as usual, I gave the kids their 5 minute nudge to get ready to leave for school: socks on, shoes on, lunches in bag, water bottles in bag and coats on. Five minutes later I looked to see my youngest still on the sofa, lost in the…
The business ethic behind Go Fish Education is to provide help, support and advice beyond the school gate. As parents, we all want the best for our children but when things are not going right it is difficult to know which way to turn and where to go for impartial advice. It may be that you are worried that your…

All of these…

Any experience that has a formative effect on the…
