@loudandyrant @centregoals Your rankings are out of date.
Current:
Argentina: 1 and champions
Mexico: 10
Croatia: 13
Norway: 19 etc
England are a top 10 team but we're not at the level of France, Spain etc. We won 3 knock out matches after winning the group - would be the final in previous years.

Sorry I look so smug, don't let it put you off.

Today is the final day of my one hundred pressups per day in January- for cancer research UK.

1st Jan 'fragility', chest infection, shoulder injury all swept aside - always got my 100 in.

Second week of the October half-term doing some really heavy lifting.

One week to go until Open Evening. We are so looking forward to meeting year 6 students and their families.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Salem's Lot. I watched it with my parents and brother while on holiday- a static caravan in Dorset, near the coast.

I was 12.

@kateowbridge @Strickomaster What was the change? Late nights shared across the senior team or simply fewer evening events?

[Kev Geall @KevGeall]

@Strickomaster You don't buy that some parents struggle to get time off work? Fair enough, your mileage clearly varies.

[Kev Geall @KevGeall]

@Strickomaster We offer morning visits as well but attendance is not evenly distributed across our demographic.

[Kev Geall @KevGeall]

@Strickomaster Some families will struggle to afford/get permission for several mornings off work to see the available schools. Also results in the year 6 child being out of school repeatedly?

@smithsmm I'm long out of the bed time story era but I do fondly remember "the mole who knew it was none of his business". It was daring and new then. And quite educational.

@PrimaryCoHead WhatsApp terms of service is that users must be 13.

This is such an incredibly bad idea on so many levels.

@norchcity I'm the Head of School and teach the classes assigned to me by the Head of Science. I'm a Biochemist by background. This year she thinks me teaching two year 11 physics groups and one year 10 physics group is best for the dept. No triple science groups or top sets. She's right.

@NickLowryEd Sounds like really impressive growth.

Genuine questions without an agenda: how has the top slice changed in that time and how is the (very difficult) balance found between funding central team capacity to support improvement vs funding student-facing provision?
