About this ebook

Clear, brilliantly-researched and insightful, this book offers realistic, empathetic and targeted advice. I highly recommend it for teachers, pastoral teams and senior leaders alike. - Jaideep Barot, Head of Bristol Grammar School and Chair of HMC 2024-25

Drawing on up to date research as well as interviews with students and school staff across the UK, experienced secondary school teacher and education consultant Katharine Radice clearly explains what is happening in the teenage brain when students experience exam stress and walks you through the challenges and opportunities at each stage of the school journey, with specific chapters on KS3, KS4, KS5 and leaving school behind.
Whether you are a classroom teacher, middle leader or senior leader, this book has something for you: discover practical strategies covering a wide range of situations, from assemblies and parents' information evenings to verbal feedback on work and conversations with individual students.
