Dad to an amazing girl. From Taunton, now in Leicester with a few stops & stories in between! Ex pro basketballer & now a year 6 teacher. All views my own.

Scrapping School Sports funding will be disastrous for school sports. We use it to fund inter-school sports, extra swimming (we’re coastal)

This s will reduce opportunities for primary children. There is no money to cover this gap. Budgets already threadbare.

Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for their entire careers.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., we struggle to keep 90% through the first year.
What’s the difference?
🇫🇮 Finnish teachers teach about 50% fewer hours—the rest is dedicated to planning, collaboration, and reflection.
🇫🇮 Students have multiple recesses daily to support behavior, focus, and well-being.
🇫🇮 Teachers are given autonomy at the school level, not micromanaged by endless mandates.
🇫🇮 There are limited evaluations—but unlimited trust in educators as professionals.
Until we start treating teachers like professionals, we’ll keep losing them and spending over $8 Billion a year replacing them.

Every year I play in a charity basketball game for @braintumourrsch after a friend and teammate Andi Peel died 2 years ago after a 3 year fight.

We’ve raised over £25k and hoping to raise even more in its 4th year, and any size donation is appreciated👇🏻

@PeterCrouchPod @sjsidwell still sticking to this prediction? Liverpool not making top 4? Man Utd still making top 4! 🤔

Bad Life Choices - play in the @MIKETUCK15 testimonial and I've been sitting on the bench for 8 minutes but still deciding to go for a reverse dunk at 41 is a great idea! Great fun though, good job Mike.

[Barry Lamble @Barry_lamble]

I'm ready - sign me up @robpaternostro 😉🤣

@Barry_lamble @dan_routledge @Con_Air11 @RidersBball Still here when you need ‘em Bazzer

[Barry Lamble @Barry_lamble]

@dan_routledge @Con_Air11 @RidersBball The other option is that I come out of retirement for a year 🤣🤣🤣

[Barry Lamble @Barry_lamble]

Well deserved!

[Daniel Routledge @dan_routledge]

Which will allow @Con_Air11 to become the outright leader in league games played for @RidersBball, a record he currently shares with @Barry_lamble on 303

@Barry_lamble @RidersBball If ever the term “do you know who I am” was appropriate, it’s moments like this… club legend!

Just saw someone in Lake Garda wearing a @RidersBball bag! #FansAroundEurope
Do I talk to him though!? 🤔
