As we start a new year, rich with promise and excitement, I should not have been surprised to find that quickly that life would try and push us off course.
Even before we started back changes to Year 6 SATs (2017) were announced (Times Tables and ipads) even before we have finally seen what the this years SATs would finally look like.
The word homework has proved to be an unexpected can of worms and where to put a Scout Hut continues to prove to be contentious.
The months of rain have started to make their mark with leaks appearing in places we could not have expected including down the inside of electrical cable trunking. (don't worry a speedy call to a great electrician quickly solved that problem).
Addressing the flooding in the BJPS Early Years play area, whilst successful so far, resulted in our bins not being collected. You might ask 'How the two are connected?'. The answer is that when drains contractors, trying to avoid the effort of taking away the debris from drain clearance, choose to put it into the large red wheelie bins we hit waste management rules. The bin in question was for recycling waste not for soil and sludge and with the wrong refuse in it collection could not happen. If one bin is not emptied no bins will be emptied.
However underlying all this is the fact that our superb pupils, students and staff have clearly come back raring to go and everyone has had a great first week. Time to keep it going now.
