Headteacher Approved Ways to Say Things- What Teachers Really Want to Say (But Definitely Can’t)

Every teacher has two voices.

One says “Let’s make a better choice.” The other is thinking something very different, usually around 2:47pm on a windy Friday.

Headteacher Approved Ways to Say Things finally gives that second voice a seat at the table. Inside are over 220 laugh-out-loud moments from every corner of school life. Each one shows what you want to say, and the calm, professional, Headteacher Approved version you actually say.

You’ll find:

• The classroom, playground duty and the dinner hall
• School trips, PE and sports day
• Parents’ evening and those 11pm emails
• The staff room, inspections and observations
• The nativity, assemblies and the last week of term
• Bonus: the Report Card Translator, finally revealing what “lively” really means

Packed with funny black and white illustrations, this is the perfect gift for teachers, teaching assistants, trainee teachers, headteachers and anyone who has ever survived wet play.

A brilliant Christmas, end-of-year, leaving or retirement present. Grab a copy for the staff room and watch it do the rounds.
