I’ve had Scribblings by Tom Panagiotopoulos on my TBR pile for a while now and as an ex-teacher and educational consultant it has a siren call for me. Whilst I’m still waiting for it to reach the top of that towering TBR heap, I’m delighted to be able to offer a lucky UK reader a chance to read Scribblings for themselves along with some smashing vegan chocolate thanks to Sarah Hembrow at Vulpine Press. (I really wanted to call this post Scribblings and nibblings – but I wont!) Let me tell you about the book first:
Scribblings was published by Vulpine Press on 22nd March 2022 and is available for purchase here.
Scribblings
“It was the worst horror film I had ever seen, and I was in it! It wasn’t until his leg fell to the ground with a resounding thump and bounced for a few feet, did I realise that Nathaniel’s leg was a prosthetic.”
Being the head teacher of a primary school sounds like the ideal job. But it’s not all playing with toys and going home at three in the afternoon.
From parents fighting in the playground to the toilets spewing out raw sewage and contaminating the school, a head teacher’s day can range from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Filled with life, laughter, tears and tantrums, Scribblings journeys through the battles of leading a primary school in one of the most deprived areas in the country. Where the struggles are immense, but the rewards are priceless.
Come inside and witness first-hand what happens once the school gates are closed.
Journey inside an inner-city primary school with head teacher Mr P. Written over the course of a school year, Mr P details the reality of working in a school in one of the most deprived areas of the country. What goes on behind closed doors after you drop your children off in the morning? How do teachers juggle parents, pupils, and the ever-demanding education authorities? Come inside and join us for the highs and lows of primary school life.

My earliest school memory is being taught by a teacher at primary school who I adored, Mrs Williams, and ringing the hand bell in the playground to announce that play time was over.

My earliest school memory is a little tobacco tin full of words for spelling and reading. I think it was my grandad’s tin and I loved the smell 😊
