Meet the Principal of Tribhuvan #Trishuli Senior Secondary School, who showed extraordinary courage and, in just 30 seconds, cheated death to save nearly 900 schoolchildren and bring them safely out of the disaster zone. Salute his incredible courage and presence of mind.The school runs with joint cooperation between #India and #Nepal. Today, nothing remains of the school only a massive pile of debris, bearing witness to the devastation. @indiatvnews @IndiaInNepal @PMOIndia

Pianist @yunchanlim_ led a gorgeous jazz-inspired first half with Ravel in G. I loved #JosephineStephenson mining Emily Dickinson for moments of beauty and a collector’s-item Finzi in the second. Great gig. Thank you @BBC

Richard Tice on Reform’s £500,000 donor:- “My family have known the Cottrell family and the broader Hesketh family for 50 years, a very successful aristocratic family.” “This is about the establishment trying to kill off a disruptive political party”

I've just added this to my SEF: There are no trends for SEND data across the school, as the range and complexities of needs is so varied that the data in yearly or school context is almost meaningless. I feel strongly about this. Drawing conclusions from SEND data is flawed.

24 Hours of Le Mans Edition. A way of telling the story behind the little girl who dreamed of becoming a racing driver and competing in the world’s greatest races. A dream, but also a strong desire to make it come true.
