You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.

Once folk realise that giving is more nourishing than “getting” they will then begin to feel so much better, kinder and more fullfilled. #ikigai

Teachers, FE, mostly heads of departments or senior leaders work as a conservative average, 13 hours above their contract, often 15+ when you move into events after school.

Nadine Shah and Ms Mohammed at Brighton Festival.

So pleased to have secured free access for my students to recitals, in the community. It is not easy to get young people to choose to attend recitals but Thursday eve, the first of many, we enjoyed the Sonas Quartet feat. Nicholas Carpenter in Buxted Park, with some of our A level music students.

@newcastleunited.com all the best lads today. Post swim hang out.
