    Very proud of our Y6 pupils who have achieved a great set of test results today despite the following... 1. Having no written marking all year 2. Having no out of school booster clubs 3. Having a full curriculum up to SATs week 4. Having minimal homework Who'd have thought it?

    Just tidying my desk and wondered if anyone would like a 'Two Stars and a Wish' stamp or shall I cast it into the eternal lake of fire where it belongs?
