Its a short distance away by car, and the boys will have to make some new friends but the contrast between this school and the previous one is huge.
We can at last start to move forward and it is such a relief. Thank god there are some people in the education system that are not just interested in results and their ofsted report, people that are still truly interested in the children. Thank you Edgbarrow, we look forward to our boys attending your school.
Yesterday Joe managed to spend a whole day at the Kwik cricket festival and played in the schools B team. All three teams got into the finals - great day. Sadly Joes team lost by 2 runs but he was only slightly disappointed. For Joe this was a huge achievement - 3 months ago we would not have believed this day was possible his tics were so bad, and confidence so low. He went to school this morning feeling extremely tired and ticcy but very proudly wearing his silver medal. He bowled really well getting several wickets for his team. Couldnt help but write him a little poem.
It brought me great joy to see my boy
Representing his school at cricket
He fielded ok and batted ok but
Bowled well taking many a wicket
To the final they went, good wishes we sent
Despite being cold and wet
They did their best and needed a rest
The runs they didn’t quite get
A little bit sad, but still very glad
A silver medal he would get
It would’ve been nice to win he said with a grin
He was so happy - no reason to fret
He was up this morning, so tired and yawning
But off to school he sped
Ticcing away and wanting to stay
Im looking forward to PE he said !
So so nice to post something happy and positive on here. Lets hope this continues.
