in bloom. Some parts of today are best forgotten: the blocked WC on the year 9 corridor amongst them.

High points included the year 7&8 parents' conference, explaining that Life Skills for year 8 doesn't have an exam - at least not until the boy proposes to the girl of his dreams and gets asked if he can iron a shirt, change a plug and cook dinner.

And chatting to an old boy (26 !) who came back to play hockey against the 1st XI about the old days - 10 years ago.

Tomorrow, school's out and I'm off to the Brecons with some walkers and cyclists.
