A big congratulation to everyone getting your GCSE results today. It’s been my habit to write something specifically linked to results day each year. Quite often, like others, I’ve taken time to make the point that results aren’t everything, that this isn’t the one day in your life that settles everything. Ironically, I’ve been saying… Continue reading You have your GCSE results – now what?

Relax, there’ll be bad news in the headlines again tomorrow!
Perhaps football is coming home after all but it will be the lionesses not the lions who bring home a football World Cup. England’s defeat of Australia in the women’s world cup semi-final was immediately the top item on news bulletins. Not everyone was quite so overjoyed with football dominating the headlines. Some people have… Continue reading Relax, there’ll be bad news in the headlines again tomorrow!
