Handwriting with Christopher Jarman
After a long association and sole publisher of the Christopher Jarman's handwriting scheme, NAPE has decided to no longer publish the work or text books. However, if there is sufficient demand, we will continue with the popular Teacher's handbook, published in 2020. Please contact the National office direct.
Christian Schiller – In His Own Words at only £5 !!
Christian was appointed HMI in 1924 and then followed a long period of work with the schools in Liverpool where his contact with poor children and their families was a deeply formative experience. He became District Inspector and later filled this role in Worcestershire. In 1946 he became Staff Inspector for Primary Education and his influence, often in partnership with his friend Robin Tanner, HMI. Both strongly felt that as elementary schools developed into primary schools, they should have a distinctive child- centred approach. That approach means teachers drawing on children’s innate creativity so recognising the powerful learning that emerges from direct experience.
‘Christian Schiller in his own words’ was published by the Association from 1979. This invaluable book is still available price £5.00 from the National Office. The book and all its wisdom about teaching young children and how we can help them to learn should find a place on every teacher’s bookshelf.

Robin Alexander
Professor Robin Alexander, one of our NAPE patrons, is well known in education for leading one of the most comprehensive and independent enquiries into English primary education for the last 40 years. Robin is Fellow of Wolfson College at the University of Cambridge and Professor of Education Emeritus at the University of Warwick. He is also former director of the Cambridge Primary Review and Chair of the Cambridge Primary Review Trust. The Primary Review published 'Children, their world, their education' . The review brought together educational experts in their field and teachers, headteachers, children, parents and all those involved in primary education. The review's wide-ranging conclusions and recommendations are ground-breaking and are often cited. Robin has recently written a most readable and practical examination of teaching.
Users of Robin Alexander’s popular Towards Dialogic Teaching will be pleased to hear of his new book about achieving high quality talk for teaching and learning. It builds on the best of international research and the successful Education Endowment Foundation trial of his approach with 5000 primary pupils.
This book is to help to ‘lead to widespread discussion among teachers, and heads, parents, school governors, politicians and the general public’ about testing in schools. ‘Assessments in schools is not designed to help children learn…it does untold damage’.
