Fifth day back at school with remote learning. Out of interest I think I’ll count the school days since the start of it all on the 23 March. Any ideas? It’s been a really busy one. The day started looking over some work that we need to do so that we can let our parents … Continue reading
Forth day of remote learning in this third lockdown completed. Since the announcement of lockdown number 3 just over a week ago, understandably, many have been working very hard to put in many cases, well planned and effective remote learning for the children. It has been great and extremely reassuring to see staff working with … Continue reading
Back at school for the first two days after the Christmas holidays – somewhat fortunate considering the lockdown that we weren’t due to return until Thursday, the 7th of January. It’s always brilliant to welcome the children back, to see staff and for those at home, remotely connecting – that positivity of togetherness. As the … Continue reading
Children return to school tomorrow; some in person and some via remote means. The Christmas and New Year break is now over and so much has been and still needs to be done. The work that goes into organising what is needed for a return to school, and by return to school I mean those … Continue reading
It was coming. It was wanted due to the current situation. It was refused repeatedly, until shortly after 20:00 on 4th Jan 21. The country is back in a National Lockdown and times are difficult.

It’s a difficult time. I’ve said that before, quite a bit. My thoughts at present are with the many who worry about returning to school, genuinely concerned for themselves and others.

The day draws to a close on what for many across the country is the last day of the Christmas break. Schools return on Monday for the majority and like the late blow to Everton in a drab match, a late u- turn on primary schools in London announced. Some schools will have planned to … Continue reading
Many posts with different titles and many titles undeserved – no, still no knighthood for me though. That aside, another day draws to a close and much frustration across the country, divided by Covid yet united (maybe) by Brexit. What do you think? Many more areas now in Tier 4 and other up to Tier … Continue reading
So it’s the 23rd of December and people are doing the final bits for Christmas, I suspect. A very different Christmas where we will stay at home – which for some is a great benefit and for others must be a lonely affair. If nothing else this Christmas, take time to reflect and value the … Continue reading
The end of a tiring term has arrived and time for many to take a break – a much deserved break! The autumn term is always the long one and the usual hard slog to establish the expectations, cut out the complacency and sloppiness. Add to that, Covid and the extra, no warning calls, emails … Continue reading
