This book is incredible. Stunning. Anyone in education should read it. #edutwitter

I turned up to the UK needing SENCO support, the son of a muslim immigrant. Neither parent went to university, both in manual low paid jobs. Attended a failing school. Being a teacher was alway my dream, something I achieved despite hurdles at every step.

Hurdles like; being Free School Meals, EAL, working class, foreign named, uneducated parents, lack of resources amongst other variables. But I had parent love and time; this helped me massively, alongside once existent grants, bursaries & EMA etc. Would I change ny life? No.
