My Clever Son

I have no faith in the value of the National Curriculum Tests (SATs) to assess a school’s worth and I think it’s really crappy that the nation’s 11-year olds have to spend almost an entire year being drilled for exams, crowding out so much else.

Nevertheless, they exist. My older NT son has worked hard and deserves the confidence boost that his results have given him. Level 5 for Science and Maths (best score in the school - apparently he gets a prize!). But more importantly, he scraped a Level 4 for English and I am so proud and pleased for him for this. He has mild dyspraxia and finds writing and handwriting very, very difficult.

So, Well Done S!
