My original message seems to have got lost but it was a whinge about my DS#1 having 11 weeks half days when he started school. Anyway....we had a letter yesterday telling us that from 01/10 they will all be doing mornings, then a week of mornings and lunch, and then the holy grail of full time the week after that for all pupils that are ready for it. All pupils to be full time by November (unless they still have problems). So basically back to the old timetable. Hoo bloody ray!
Apparently it's because the children are all settling in sooo well . What on earth made the assume that they wouldn't? But I have a feeling that the new (temporary) HT bowed to pressure from various parents who were as hacked off with it as I was, or he simply saw common sense.
