You can stay here till you're a hundred if you feel like it – indeed, it's our hope that you will. Sitting in his chair by the fire on a dark autumn afternoon, a beloved schoolmaster reflects on a long life well lived. Now in old age, Mr. Chipping, or ‘Chips’ as he’s affectionately known by his students, has watched the nineteenth century sail into the twentieth, known love, friendship and war, and felt the lasting wounds of heartbreak and loss.An immediate bestseller upon publication in 1934, James Hilton’s Goodbye, Mr. Chips is the touching tale of one man’s eventful life and the quiet, meaningful ways he shaped the lives of those around him. It has been adapted for film twice, and today continues to be a poignant and comforting classic for readers old and new.

In an increasingly complex and ever-changing education landscape, school leadership is a rewarding but multifaceted profession. In order to survive in the job long term, school leaders need to understand how they can lead with positivity and purpose, all the while avoiding stress, coping with adversity, and taking better care of themselves physically and mentally. With teacher wellbeing and retention a growing concern, it is essential school leaders pass on this confidence and optimism to their staff members too. In this thought-provoking book, James Hilton explores ten traits of resilience and demonstrates to school leaders how they can embed these traits into their own practice and into their school to create a climate of resilience in every classroom. Ten Traits of Resilience is packed with practical advice, tips and reflective questions to help school leaders evaluate and improve their current practice, and threaded throughout are also perspectives from a number of education experts, including Ross Morrison McGill, Patrick Ottley-O'Connor, Viv Grant and Kim Johnson.With a foreword by happiness expert, Dr Andy Cope, this book is ideal for all school leaders and aspiring school leaders looking to promote and maintain a culture of resilience in their schools, in order to improve their own mental health and wellbeing, and that of their staff and pupils too.
