The final year of primary school has arrived. N doesn’t seem that fussed about the milestone of this year. It probably impacts parents more as they can’t believe their child has already whizzed through primary. Now is the time when…
Now N’s in year 6 and school’s back, it means it’s time to think about applying for secondary schools. We’ve got until the end of October to apply – in our case it’s 4 schools we can put down, although…
July, the last month of the school year, and it’s been quite a spectacular one. With Covid rules, pretty much a full term of remote learning, and our school’s mini bubbles to help even further, it’s been an odd year….
June’s been a great month at school for N. Ok, there’ve been some things he’s not keen on (moaning about the food has increased since the old cook left, and he moaned about that enough!), and having to do more…

It’s the end of another school term, and we’re getting ever closer to the end of another school year. Year 5, and one that seems to have rushed by, with over half a term of it as remote learning. Thankfully…
My view on parenting is that it’s our job to make our children ready to be unleashed on the world on their own. At whatever age that ends up being. Hopefully the time they leave home they’re ready for the…
The one thing that remote learning has done, has provided parents more of an insight into the work and learning their children are doing. Unless children are in a different room or in headphones all day, school work has been…
Over the last year children (and their teachers) have had a lot thrown at them. It’s certainly something they’ll look back on as part of history, with hopefully some fond memories as well as recalling how shocking it can be…
