@tombennett71 I have always said that we fail a child when we have to permanently exclude them. However sometimes that child needs a fresh start, new provision or simply a wake up call. The issue I have is that any child excluded should not disappear ie thought of as someone else’s problem.

SUSPENSIONS. Quick reminder: 1. Schools with challenging intakes need more disciplinary responses than ones without 2. Suspensions are one way to help reduce exclusions 3. Schools that need to suspend, need to suspend 4. If they don’t, the environment gets much worse for children 5. Not all behaviour issues can be resolved by a kind word 6. Criticising a school for above average rates of exclusion, demonstrates a misunderstanding of what ‘averages’ means 7. Don’t shame schools you couldn’t run

@tommyialexander I remember playing hockey in Scotland, the outdoor season stopped December to February for Indoor. It continues today and means the outdoor season finishes in May. The days of the Glenfiddich in the Kelvin Hall, pushed indoor hockey to the forefront.

Absolutely! It’s so obvious this calendar doesn’t work. 🇬🇧 struggles with cold weather, spectators for outdoors & technical skills development in players. Going indoors Nov-Feb will increase participation, interest & technical ability. 🇬🇧 can replicate 🇩🇪. Invest in halls!

Please show your support for a Glasgow 2014 legacy facility that is vital for hockey in Glasgow, and beyond. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏑

The three pillars of progression in PE-it is also the only curriculum subject that focuses on purposeful movement and physical development ⁦@afPE_PE⁩

@angusjporter @EnglandHockey Think old system worked just fine, clear pathways of progression, appointment of coaches whose jobs was to focus on a centre and links into the NAGs. Just needed more input into grassroots development and getting more state schools involved in local central venue leagues.

The lack of reaction to what @EnglandHockey must have hoped was a big announcement tells you all you need to know about the lack of connection between clubs and EH. Some big clubs with poor junior programmes preferred to smaller ones with fabulous track records. Dismal.

A positive association between the frequency of volunteering and mental wellbeing has been revealed in our latest Active Lives data. In a new blog, Jenny Betteridge, our Strategic Lead for Volunteering writes on the importance of volunteering and the pandemic's impact upon it.

Earlier today, the latest @Sport_England Active Lives Survey was published, showing evidence of green shoots of recovery in activity but that progress remains unequal Read the Alliance's full response to the survey here: sportandrecreation.org.uk/news/industry/…
