Recent Product Reviews:
Flex Education is a great read either for those who are already fans of being flexible or for those who need ideas on how to move forward with it. It contains many different practical strategies which link flexible working with well being and family friendly schools. What’s not to like about that? Even for someone who has had flexibility at the heart of school – there were still new ideas to learn and suggestions that I will be looking to take forward in my school. I really liked the sign posting throughout the book, it made it a very user friendly and easy to access book. I just wish this book had been around when my children were young!
