Nadim the 4 year old poet is now 5 and started big school today. I expect it was still good to come home.

If you're feeling a little short on words these days, 'laconic' looks to the Laconians of ancient Greece, known for their pithy speech. When Philip of Macedon thunderously promised that if he entered Laconia he would raze it to the ground, they sent a one-word reply: ‘If’.

My favorite part of the @EmilyRCWilson (2017) translation of "The Odyssey" may well be the final paragraph of the Translator's Note.
Listen carefully to the ragged stranger's story.

Last year’s student progress was outstanding, in the top 10% nationally, and we are delighted that early analysis indicates 2018 results are equally as strong. 86% of students passed their English GCSE and 74% of students passing their Maths, a superb achievement. Well Done!!

Well Done to all our students today, but special mention should go to the 24 students who achieved 9 or more A, A*, 8 and 9 grade qualifications. You must be very proud of your efforts and hard work.
