MintyyGrin I think it was as bad as ever as my colleague was visiting.
I liked the old HT at your DD's school - she did a good speech, but I haven't seen the new one.

Mintyy · 03/10/2014 20:09

The new one is a force of nature!

SpringHeeledJack · 03/10/2014 20:11

oooh where's your DD, Mintyy?

clues please

and no, alas DS has finished at the School Which Shall Remain Nameless. Just as the DDs start. There's timing for you

In my experience it's an hour of additional torture at the end of an ordeal of an evening.

Clue: its the bloody great huge girls school in Sdnm.

Springy, did he do his A'levels there? DD is amazed that virtually all the Y11's have come back to do their A'levels!

ooh, there's a tale, BTM

he did ok in his GCSEs but his ASs were a disASter

he's gone elsewhere for resits- so far going well, but early days and all that

he says the school did all it could for him-he was just too lazy Hmm
