Year 10 3D Design students visited the V&A to research their next project on ‘Lamps and Lighting’. Exploring galleries from jewellery to 20th-century design, they captured inspiration for their work. Well done, Year 10!

Chiswick School raised over £700 for @BBCCIN ! 💛

A huge thank you to all students, staff and families who helped make the day such a success. Your energy, generosity and enthusiasm made all the difference.

Here's a parody of the classic song "Walking in Memphis" by the soulful @MarcCohn about #Trump's arrival in the UK for his second state visit. With a midi bagpipe. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 🎶 - it's called "Put Up Some Fences"

[British Poles @britishpoles]

On Battle of Britain Day, let us recall the Polish contribution to the UK war effort in WWII: two Polish bomber squadrons (300 and 301) and two fighter squadrons (302 and the famous 303) fought alongside the RAF. In addition, 81 Polish pilots served in British units.
As Winston Churchill said: “Never was so much owed by so many to so few.”

[British Poles @britishpoles]

145 Polish fighter pilots flew for the @RoyalAirForce in the Battle of Britain. No 303 Polish Fighter Squadron entered the Battle of Britain, credited with 126 kills, and was rated the highest-scoring fighter squadron of the Battle of Britain.
Winston Churchill said: "Never was so much owed by so many to so few".
It is worth recalling the Polish contribution to the UK war effort in WW2.

Today is Battle of Britain Day, 85 years since the Luftwaffe’s massive 1940 assault on London with approximately 1000 - 1500 planes, with the RAF emerging victorious. Watch a stunning remastered film of the Spitfire girls, young heroines who helped built the iconic RAF Spitfire.

.@TfL a driver just tried to refuse me access to a bus as a wheelchair user because he claimed he couldn’t pull close enough to the kerb to deploy the ramp. Only moved when I & members of the public argued with him. Discrimination.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

This video produced by Norwich City does a fantastic job of shining a light on how many people suffer in silence when they don’t need to.

If you’re struggling, you can call Samaritans on: 116 123.

An immigrant made me buy a home in Clacton. Another immigrant made me pretend it wasn’t my second home and made me avoid paying the tax I wanted to pay. Then, blow me, another immigrant made me avoid tax on my GB News earnings.
When I become Prime Minister I’ll deport them all.

Two great things brought together. ‘Come on Eileen’ and Bagpuss. (Don’t know who created this but I want more please.)
