Let the Sunday Times bestselling authors and hosts of Two Mr Ps in a Pod(cast) lead you through the school year…

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!

Lee and Adam Parkinson are two brothers from Manchester who work in primary education. Together in 2018, they set up the hugely successful Two Mr Ps in a Pod(cast), sharing light-hearted and hilarious tales from the classroom and reminiscing on their own school days. The podcast has since amassed over 3 million listens with sold-out live shows across the UK. Put A Wet Paper Towel on It is their first book.
