All our members at Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth I College want for Christmas is pay justice! While teachers in primary and secondary schools got a 5.5% rise, members in non-academised sixth form colleges have had no pay offer this year.
That must change. #PayUp24

It’s strike day! On my way to picket on Regent Road in Leicester with other @neunion.bsky.social members. If you agree with us that teachers in non-academy sixth form colleges deserve the same pay award as the rest of the sector, please support us.
We will be banging on the DFE ‘s door later.

It was Brian Lara for me. He become front page news scoring his 365 in a test match. When he came to Leicestershire with Warwickshire shortly after I was desperate to go. Made the faux pas as an 11 year old of getting his autograph on his way back in to the pavilion after being dismissed 🤦♂️
Evening all!
Which cricketer made you fall in love with the game?
I only got into cricket at 30, so it was Jimmy for me - I’ll never forget seeing his 300th wicket.
I have since developed an appreciation of past legends like Grace, Jardine, Larwood, Gower and Stewart.
Who was it for you?

What a fascinating read. There must be more players in our history who have obscure stories given the loose nature of amateurism in those days.

These profiles are normally tied to anniversaries, but with this mysterious @LeicesterTigers and Lions international his birth date is unknown. In fact, there are multiple question marks over this man’s entire identity.

We could talk about going to see City today but actually, let’s talk about the ham and tomato cob I had in the Blue Boar afterwards. The undisputed highlight of my day.

And yet we can’t find £5m to give non academised sixth form college teachers an equitable pay award.
🚨 @mrp-ict.bsky.social reveals the shocking £31m wasted on "pointless" Government tests in primary schools every year.
You'll be amazed when you find out what else that money could buy for schools! 👀🤯
