Does the phrase ‘back to school’ fill you with dread? Or does it bring delight … until you see the size of your September to-do list? Can you really be expected to keep track of next Thursday’s swimming, spelling and singing club? Not to mention the PTA-sponsored bounce!


From the autumn harvest festival to the summer sports day, the academic year is a non-stop frenzy of planning, preparation and potential chaos, whichever side of the school gates you find yourself. But now Britain’s best-loved teachers and podcast hosts Lee and Adam Parkinson are here to make it all that little bit easier as they share the hilarious trials, tribulations and tomfoolery going on inside our primary schools.


Whether you’re a fatigued parent or a frazzled teacher – or just want a good laugh! – grab your back-to-school essentials, find your desk and get ready to learn what NOT to do in the year ahead.


Don’t just survive the school year – thrive!
