Hello September

Hello new school term. It's back to school this week for P and M and the first day of secondary school for R. A big change - being the youngest (literally) of 1500 pupils, rather than the eldest of 450. 

Uniform all named and ready to go.

Hello new normal - secondary school starts at 8.25 and finishes 2.15. It will take some getting used to.
Hello to celebrating exam success with last year's ESOL students.
Hello to a curry on Friday night to say goodbye to our (already much-missed) department administrator.
Hello to starting LSNED. I haven't quite decide what format it's going to take yet, but it will certainly be about the change to secondary school.
Hello to a tidier house without the children at home all day.

HAPPY NEW (SCHOOL) YEAR TO YOU ALL!
