Tuesday 7 July - SATs, Police Brief and Sara Reveals All!

SATs Results were given out at school today and Nat was a little disappointed with his. He got 4 in English, which given his problems* with writing and spelling, is amazing, 5 (top mark) in Science but only 4 in Maths. He was expecting to get and was expected, by his teachers, to get a 5 in Maths; we all have bad days and in the long term this could be beneficial, maybe it’ll stop him getting too big for his boots and serve as a warning for future exams….take nothing for granted on the day and make sure you read the question!!!


Our team attended two very interesting meetings at work tonight; one was on lecture, discussion, on personal safety and was given by a serving Policemen (Detective A. Cook – yes cook not crook). This meeting ran from 9 to 10 and was immediately followed by a strategy brief, given by Sara, on the company’s future plans. It would appear that our team missed out on the equivalent brief last year so this was both extremely interesting in itself and a chance to find out what was planned for the future. We also discussed a number of areas, where we were still experiencing difficulties and where customers were being let down. I’m looking forward to submitting, as requested, a number of responses to the issues raised and making some suggestions as to how some of these problems might be resolved.



*(both he and I, we believe, may suffer from a very mild form of dyspraxia, it’s one of the reasons I’ve never kept a diary and why they had to drag essays out of me at university; my hand writing and spelling embarrassed me so much I tried to avoid writing whenever I could)
