Biography
Andrew Hampton was a headteacher for 18 years and taught PSHE and Music for 35 years. His award-winning approach for supporting girls’ friendships in school – ‘Girls on Board’ - has been adopted by thousands of teachers and hundreds of schools all over the world.
‘This book doesn’t pull any punches as it describes how our current strategies for nurturing, encouraging and attempting to motivate boys are failing. It explores why and suggests practical strategies for how we can address and improve the situation, encouraging boys to embrace ‘gentle’ masculinity in preference to ‘sour’ masculinity. This is a brave book. It’s also potentially life changing."
Dr Jill Berry - Educationalist
"This is a much-needed book and the timing is perfect. There is too much toxic masculinity in society and I am hopeful this book will make people rethink."
Marylin Hawes - Founder of Freedom From Abuse
"Hampton writes as if he is in my head; it’s incredible."
Sam Browne - Year 13, Southend High School for Boys
