1, 2, 3, Go…!
Last of the three start of the school year training days are complete and we are ready for the return of children tomorrow. Monday was Talk for Writing, Tuesday was classroom and general school preparation and today was all about leadership and values with John Kane (KanEvolve). The work that colleagues have put in to … Continue reading
First Day Back – Training Day
First day back at school with all staff, the first time since 23rd March. All seemed fine and the understandable apprehensions of some soon reduced and a good day had by all. Whilst it was the first day with all back, it certainly wasn’t back in March that everyone last did any work. Do we … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 44
Today was the last day of the holiday – the summer break limited by covid restrictions but blessed by the weather. 44 days including the weekends of somewhat relaxed timings; walks and rides; and planning for a return to school over time. Being a Sunday the day started with watching Dan ply football; a 9v9 … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 43
Today was great. My son’s birthday so a day of celebration, enjoying games and seeing genuine smiles of appreciation on his face. Thank you. Normally, as has been for the past several weeks, Dan has woken up around 09:00. Today, he woke up at 06:00. No alarm nor other aid to wake him, but the … Continue reading

It’s quite something when you look back and reflect on the fact that we are five months on from the initial lockdown. … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 40 and 41
Another two days of the summer holiday gone and just three left now. Yesterday I spent the day in school; face to face meetings, remote meetings; and sorting. Also watch a few episodes of Wolf Blood – I recommend it. I have a small budget to use for school improvements and the first meeting of … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 38 & 39
The last two days have been gently easing back into work after a great few weeks recovering from the relentless drive thorough lockdown. Catching up with emails; checking dates for the diary; and generally touching base with various areas of school life to plan and be ready for the return. Whilst so many schools did … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 37
Happy birthday first and foremost to my wife today. Awake at 08:30 so I can get the bikes to Halfords and back again for some grassroots football. How exciting are birthdays as you get older! Yes, a quick get up and sorted and present giving/opening before flying out of the door to get to Halfords. … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 36
Last day at the campsite in Delamere so a morning run prior to packing up and departing. The campervan pack up versus the tent pack up is hugely less time consuming and much easier. All packed and an easy journey back home, followed by unpacking the van and giving it a bit of a clean. … Continue reading
