Couldn’t agree with this more. Overly policing the canon of literature massively risks undermining the very nature of what literary history and development actually is.

I absolutely adore this play. The more I read it, the more poignant and powerful it becomes. So much better than An Inspector Calls too, and a much more significant part of the development of post war British drama.

In my happy place 🤘🎸🤡🕺

As someone married to someone who did Latin to A-Level, I couldn’t agree with this more. The language advantage from understanding Latin is staggering.

Have you met the poet James Carter? He's been helping us with some really fun and exciting new poetry content @oaknational.bsky.social. If you haven't met him, you really should get to know him tinyurl.com/2uvzft7a

I cannot wait to see this in a couple of weeks. More musicals should be based on impenetrable Russian novels

I am really excited to be contributing to this in a couple of weeks. Will be sharing what we have learnt about large-scale English curriculum design @oaknational.bsky.social

I couldn't be prouder to play a very small part in all of this. The impact on wellbeing and workload in particular are phenomenal. Amazing 💪
