Very best wishes from everyone at Kirkbie Kendal to Mark Wilson - former Head Boy - who has retired from rugby. Mark has been such an inspiration to our students!

Happy New Year all!!

Reflective back on 2021 and came across this gem of a video, so thought I'd share again...

Thanks @frankdickcoach for providing such a powerful message for all coaches on the meaning of winning 👏

Enjoy...

NHS are battered and bruised, many are saying they can’t carry on after the pandemic. NHS staff need:

💙 hot foot 24/7
💙 staffs room to rest
💙 free parking
💙 no further pay cuts

If we don’t look after them now there will be no one left to look after patients

Do you agree?

A bunch of Irish lads doing a Christmas pub crawl dressed as selection box is still absolute genius! 😂

This from NHS chief Simon Stevens on @MattHancock. Watch his reaction when asked ‘do you believe Matt Hancock is hopeless & do you have confidence in health secretary’

BREAKING: Full, damning statement from Sir Kevan Collins, who’s resigned as education recovery tsar over govt’s plans to help kids catch up.

“A half-hearted approach risks failing hundreds of thousands of pupils... It is too narrow, too small and will be delivered too slowly.”

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

For nurses, the proposed 1% pay rise for NHS staff means a real-terms rise of just £3.50 per week.

Please RT if you think that's disgusting.

Eddie Jones on a problem he believes school rugby has at the moment👇
🗣"We've got alot of kids now not being taught by teachers their being taught by ex professionals... Were trying to turn high school teams into high performance teams when it should just be about development."

Steve Kerr on the role of the coach👇
🗣"It's their team. That's one of the first things you have to consider as a coach...It's the players team and they have to take ownership of it. As coaches our job is to nudge them in the right direction & guide them. We don't control them."

[Newcastle Red Bulls @NCL_RedBulls]

A great resource for children to tap into...
