THE BESTSELLING SECONDARY SCHOOL HANDBOOK, FROM THE NATION’S FAVOURITE HEAD TEACHER, MR BURTON.
Secondary school can seem scary. Corridors are wide, older students look terrifying and there’s homework, messy friendships and stressful exams to deal with.
But, whether you’re about to land at secondary school or you’re still settling in, Mr Burton is here to guide you through your journey – worry-free.
From your first day to your final exams, this handbook will have you achieving, succeeding and being the best you can be. Find great friends, boost your confidence, work hard and start building toward your brilliant future.
Written by head teacher and star of Educating Yorkshire, Mr Matthew Burton, this is the ultimate secondary school survival guide.
Matthew (Mr) Burton is an inspirational Headteacher, and star of Channel 4’s multi award-winning documentary series, Educating Yorkshire. His warmth, humour, style and energetic style of teaching endeared him to audiences the country over, and the incredible breakthrough moment with Musharaf Asghar and his stammer brought millions of TV and YouTube viewers to tears across the world. Now Headteacher (and still an English teacher), he is committed to achieving the very best for every child, and to ensuring that barriers to opportunity – whatever they may be – are challenged, removed and banished, to allow every young person to be the very best they can be.
