Having spent Weds eve in A & E, I was hoping for a quiet few days to recover but it's been a hectic time. I went to school on Thursday and made it all the way through the management meeting which finished just before 10.00pm as we put together our response as a management team to the learning futures outcome which will see the future of the school decided one way or another on Monday (today).
Friday was busy too with a leaving party after school in recognition of one of the caretakers retiring after 25 years at the school. It was race night as he is very keen on the horses and I managed to come out with a profit of £1.00 after drinks etc due to a lucky win in the fifth race where I put a bet on the same horse twice (there was a 50p stake each time) and it came home in the colours of Plymouth Argyle which was my sole criteria for backing it.
Saturday was just as hectic if not more so with a trip to Wimbledon in the rain. I'll put anohter post for that but there are a few pictures of the rain to look at for now.
This evening brings another council meeting and this time it is the final decision on who will run the school. It will be interesting to say the least as we have firmly sided with the Southampton Education Trust but they are far from favourites with an academy the likely outcome. That will mean a mass exodus of staff I fear although what people say now and do over the next year can be very different.
