I keep being asked whether my daughter will be going to school when she is older but it is such an experiment and there is much wrong with the "system". I wish it wasn't that way and wish there was more flexibility to access the positives of the system without having to entirely submerse in all the negatives too. Oh well! I just hope this awful Consultation doesn't get made into law because we'd end up having to deal with the negatives of testing and permission and so on.

So i am glad she is not going there, which was always my main concern. But this half term has given her confidence in herself and she has shone; in a way i am sorry she can't have another year there, for all it is a pain to have it actually in our life. But we can work on giving her even more opportunities for that kind of thing. It's been a good experiment - i doubt half a term at seniors would have been so positive a try out and in a way it makes it all clearer for us all now. So glad that we did do it but gladder that she has been able to make her own informed choice.
