The summer and beyond

July already seems a long way away as both schools opened their doors for a new school year.  Much has changed over the holiday as the campus continues to grow.

BJPS is bulging at the seams and LJFS has now grown to 48 students (having started with 8 students in 2013)..

Deborah Taylor Nursery has now been incorporated into BJPS and for the first time all our BJPS staff are employed by the school.

My biggest treat today was to try the first dish on our revised menu.  Today the pupils were offered either chicken curry or vegetable curry.  It was well spiced but not too hot and I can safely say the food was delicious.  Of course, for some, it was too spicy and they will have to spend some time developing a palette for the flavours on offer.  As a parent I have had the same battles at home.  However a significant number went for seconds, which is always a good sign.

The LJFS OfSTED inspection finally took place last summer and the report is now to be published. It will be available on the LJFS website soon and I will post it here tomorrow. You will, when you read it, see how far we have come in such a short time and with a model that is still unique in the country.

Time to get back to my work but I will be busy adding to the blog over the next few weeks.

If you wish to raise a question with me you can add it is a comment to the blog and I will endeavour  to answer the query.  The answer may be useful to others.
