Parents Evening

This week we saw that time come again, the time parents find out how well or not their children are doing at school. That time is parents evening. I know some parents and children are a bit dubious as they may be getting bad as well as good news. However no matter how critical the news we are presented with as parents, it is great to find how our children are doing at school.

Rachel and myself have never really worried in advance because we have always had good news. This week was no exception. Tom's teacher, ironically also called Tom, was full of praise. Academically he is above average and with no problems. As parents we do not push Tom, but then again we do not let him be slack. We have discovered that to get the best out of him we will let him go at his own speed, which seems to be working.

What Tom excels at is following and being an ambassador for the school code of practice, The Pride Code. We are so proud to hear Tom has always followed this code to a T and continues to do so. Not only does he follow it, he also promotes it in his attitude and actions at school. This can be to other children and school staff. The attributes he displays we have always encouraged but it is a real pleasure to be told by other people that he has these characteristics. Tom often gets school awards for following this code so we know the school values his efforts.

Well done Tom, keep it up!!!
