I spotted this education and parent blogger tag over on Sue Foster info, and thought I’d join in. I’ve always had opinions on education and with everything kicking off about Labour’s views on private schools (and likely grammars as well),…
Another July gone, another school year finished. That’s it, the end of year 3, and it’s been a pretty good year for N. Could have been better (applying his reading, and actually doing reading), but largely it was a good…
I love parents evening despite the fact that it can be a bit nerve-racking waiting to go in and wondering what they’re going to say about your child. Even if you know your child is a pretty good kid and…
Another month of primary school has gone and we’re less than a month away from the end of year 3. Here’s what’s been going on in June’s School Days. Assessments I think N is better on the exam side than…
