I just asked my daughter (current pupil) and she said Barnes Wallis ... closely followed by Taio Cruz

Just the usual endless wait to see the tutors Josh! It's also very awkward queueing up and trying not to overhear what's being said to the parents already with the tutor and likewise when it's your own turn, you are aware of people breathing down your neck :roll: I don't think Big School is really s...

Hmmm, will be watching with interest (and staying put over here)!

Well, it's 8.45pm on Sunday evening now. Have just got back from a dire Grecians' parents' evening ... there just has to be a better way of organising those things :roll: I'm a bit worried by this comment, Mom2to! - what was so dire about it? should we be thinking of removing our offspring at 6th f...

I think you're right Lonelymom as there are always host houses listed.

I'm very much in two minds about Leave Weekends. I count the days and absolutely long to see the children and I know they love coming home but even after 6 years it's so blooming hard to say goodbye again on the Sunday evening and it feels like Groundhog Day every time. I think we are lucky in that ...

Hope you all had a lovely leave weekend - they fly by unfortunately.

Just wanted to send a big smilie face to all the new parents who have waited so long for this first leave weekend to arrive

It's here and I hope you have a wonderful few days with your little darlings

There was a fab photo and write-up on the CH band and the St Matthew's Day parade in yesterday's Evening Argus - cannot for the life of me find a link but will see if I can scan it on

I'm with you Ailurophile and Lonelymom on the subject of the term "squit". Can't for the life of me see what's wrong with it. I remember my daughter being referred to as a Squit-ma when she reached the 3rd form and had a squit of her own to look after and very proud she was of the title :)

Yes, that bit of dirt sure does get around

It never does get easier really does it Mid A?

Do you know Frances, I have no idea about the sash though the button is on the right shoulder so it could well be for that purpose; I will ask at leave weekend. I'm sure your husband was a fine drum major :D As for the uniform - it's all free until the little darlings lose it and then the bands do n...

Can I just add that my son has an extra button on his shoulder as he is a drum major

May I make a suggestion here - whatever you do, make sure everything for testing is named in some way especially the phone chargers as my daughter's new charger went off never to be seen again!

Just returning very quickly to St Matthew's Day, this year we got a letter saying that as parents of a Grecian we could put our name in a draw to get a seat at the Service and they have all now been allocated so I doubt there will be spare places - well worth going to watch the marching though. Ever...
