Come on you Barnby Road Blues!

A room full of readers!

Here’s a sight to gladden the heart. I gave an assembly at Barnby Road Primary School in Newark this morning and asked ‘How many of you like reading?’  The response was fabulous. I think nearly every hand was raised.  It is not always the case when I go into schools, believe me.  Mr Barbuti, one of the teachers, was recently praised by Ofsted inspectors for encouraging reading in the school and raising standards. May you live long and prosper, Mr Barbuti – we need inspirational teachers like you.
