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. One piece of hope – the vaccine. Many parents will now be trying to figure out how they are going … Continue reading
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. My thoughts aren’t with those jumping on the ‘bullying’ pursuit of all schools being closed, believing they know what thick brush stroke is right … Continue reading
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
Another couple of days of school complete and just one to go. Yes, that’s right – we haven’t finished a day early and thrown in a training day that wasn’t going to work for anybody. We will finish the term as planned so that our parents aren’t inconvenienced and we’re not making those last minute … Continue reading
Monday was an incredibly busy day that started with early notification of Covid cases requiring bubbles to be closed and messages to parents. Having already spent some of the weekend sending communications out to let parents know that the children wouldn’t be at school for the last week of the term, to have to do … Continue reading
A good day in all where various tasks have been completed and some great successes. Children really starting to lead and show what I would describe as outstanding qualities. I’ve said it before and will say it again; children can do anything if you allow them to. Loads in school today wearing their Christmas jumpers … Continue reading
I had not felt great the last two days so to feel okay now, is brilliant. Nothing related to covid, more the continual grinding out of busy school days with never a second to spare. Knocks on the door for a minute chat (that are never a minute); emails pinging in (the majority of which … Continue reading
