Book Synopsis

The inspirational back-to-school handbook, from the star of Educating Yorkshire and bestselling author, Mr Matthew Burton.

Does your child seem disinterested in school, lacking in enthusiasm or anxious about their work? In this perfect pick-me-up, head teacher Matthew Burton is here to get them motivated again.

From establishing routines, handling setbacks and dealing with anxiety, to skills for beating school stress and tapping into your potential, this is the one-stop guide for students who are in need of a bit of hope, some warm words of advice and a good old pep talk to get them going in school again.

Whether facing assessments, a big change or having to make up for lost time, this book is crammed with advice so that whenever school feels hard, readers will soon be back on track and raring to go.

Our Review Panel says...

Back on track is a no-nonsense guide to when things aren’t going to plan in secondary school. This guide is divided into 8 short chapters covering topics such as The Meh Monster and Fitting back in.

It’s easy to read with lots of funny bits along the way. As an adult and a parent, a lot of the messages resonated with me, especially “Find your normal in a world that’s not at all normal”. There are lots of tips and comforting words for when things aren’t going so well.

This book is targeted at secondary school pupils and could be a useful tool for those transitioning between key stages.
