A former principal has reached an out-of-court settlement with his college.
The lines on his parachute became twisted during a 13,000-foot descent and he suffered multiple injuries. His arms and legs were badly broken, the bones in his face were shattered and he was left partially sighted.
He said that after three months in hospital he intended to go back to work but was unable to because he was sacked. - TES (David Browning)

The nation will be asked to supper at their local church in September. After, they can watch a video Christianity: boring, untrue and irrelevant? and have a "non-threatening" chat. - Guardian (Imogen Forster)
