Some things I like to do: teach RE, run, watch Westerns, write books, listen to Springsteen, sample whisky, follow the Nazarene.

OUT OF OFFICE is on.

Got a lovely mug as a present from a Year 7 and another who wrote in a card that “I make all the difference”.

Happy days. 19 years done. On to the 20th….

It was an absolute joy to meet Pope Leo XIV this week in Rome. Papal endorsement for our work at @citizensuk.org - huge thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey. The next steps are already being planned - Catholic schools with community organising at their heart.

So London Marathon - you were a blast! My 1st marathon, and ~£8k raised so far for @cafod.bsky.social

Thanks to friends, family and colleagues for all the encouragement and support: www.justgiving.com/page/andy-le...

Hard to put into words the experience of the day, but memories for a lifetime.

One week to go!

This time next Sunday I’ll be on the #LondonMarathon course—with less than 26.2 miles to go.

Final mid-length run (9 miles) done this morning up and down Windsor’s Long Walk. Trainers broken in, kit tested, people even cheered my name—good prep!
April 20, 2025 at 12:07 PM
The last long run is done. 23 miles—my furthest ever. That’s just a parkrun shy of a marathon. Sitting on the train to Southend (32 mins!) made me realise just how far that actually is…

Dear #TeamRE,

Dawn’s partner has shared a heartbreaking update. After a car accident just over a week ago, she suffered terrible injuries.

I know so many in the RE community and wider education community will be upset by the news.

Dawn was always so generous in all that she did.

Rest in peace

So many in #TeamRE and the wider #edutwitter community have been shocked to hear about Dawn’s accident.

A fund has been created to support her and her family at this time. It might be something you consider giving to or sharing.

Exactly two months until I hope that this is me on The Mall… (this was me on Sunday after London Winter Run 10k).

My current fundraising total is just under £4,000 thanks to the absolutely incredible generosity of friends and family - plus amazing support of St Joseph's Club and St Bon’s.

I’m not sure they make any other kind of film or TV.

January Miles & Marathon Training Update

107.38 miles in the bag for January as marathon training ramps up. Unfortunately, the “12 weeks to go” mark hit me with a bug instead of the planned 12-mile run, so I spent the weekend in bed instead of on the roads.

🚨 100 Days To Go 🚨

My weekly mileage is building, come rain or shine (or frost! 🥶), and the ‘long runs’ are getting longer…

Together, we’ve so far raised £1488 for @CAFOD, and I am incredibly grateful to all those who have already donated one way or another. 💚

Last day of their holidays and the great build has begun! 33 bags, 4838 pieces to go…

Thank you Playground. This is how I used to look… now fatter, greyer, wrinklier!

Do you read articles? If not, this could be for you… I’ve transformed an article from last summer on the vocation of textbook writing into a conversational podcast episode using AI:
