Lewis starts his effort to swim the LENGTH of the Channel! 560km to focus attention on the future of our seas and plastic pollution - causes very close to our hearts. A few of us at Brighton College will join you when you hit Brighton! Best of luck, Lewis for #TheLongSwim https://t.co/0UEqz4kWwY

This is good - failure, fear and the power of kindness. https://t.co/SNTXbXz10I

One @BrightonCollege pupil said: “I have learned not to look at Africa through the lens of someone who has grown up in England, but to take time to understand it from the perspective of those who live there” https://t.co/CTZeElngKj #TesAwards10

To mark the anniversary of his run, we organised year group relays at BC with 16 pupils in each team sprinting 100m each - only the U6 team broke 4 minutes, just. Everyone involved had fresh admiration for just how hard it is.

The photo of him breaking the tape is on my office wall to remind me every day of what is possible when we dare to step onto the track, accompanied by good friends. As Seb Coe said ‘He made the impossible possible.’ #legend https://t.co/3oSC1qMOd9

We are on our way back after a profoundly moving day @AuschwitzMuseum - it will take a long time to process all we’ve seen and heard. Conversations so far dominated by the need to protect the individual and the marginalised, to champion those without a voice. https://t.co/nAdce7AUu6

Pete epitomises the courage, humility and kindness to which we all aspire. He is shaping our school community in countless ways: true power in vulnerability. His 3-minute speech is truly inspirational. https://t.co/zL2zOIfdA7

Highly recommend this genuinely inspiring book by @henryfraser0 An invitation to savour all that we have, to see that every day is a good day. The perfect book to lead reflections on hopes and dreams for 2018 - thank you, Henry, for reminding us what really matters.

Wow. A stunning production of Billy Elliot that had us laughing, clapping along and even nudging away the odd tear. Mr Kenwright, you smashed it out of the park! https://t.co/eYqYLxRNRP
