    I actually think my school would be really good for you Francesca because they push you, they turn out loads of A* students every year but they don’t put so much pressure on you that it’s practically unhealthy. It’s relaxed, friendly and I actually like being there.

    I could do with being able to absorb a bit more info, then I wouldn’t have to retake at all but I’m not fussed, a bit more revision, another couple of weeks of maths lessons and I should get there. My teacher is really good and me and my friends all work together and teach each other the bits we know whilst combining it with a good conversation about something unrelated so we don’t even realise we’re learning. This is how I get through all my exams, they’re not so bad.

    I got given my maths results today…I have to retake. However, my school is paying for us all to retake if we didn’t reach our target grade which is awefully nice of them. The options were if you didn’t reach your target grade – Retake, If you did, either drop it and do private study or do higher/A-level maths or something. I thought my school were quite nice about it actually and they’re not really forcing us into anything. i think that is an advantage of not going to a grammar school. I need to get an A* somehow in my re-take and then I intend to go do maths at grammar school so I guess that makes me your school’s target 6th former.

    Frank, are you proud of me for finally coming up with something to say for once? I am.

      Elizabeth: of course they don’t; they have enough donations from parents who are so grateful they’ve tutored their kiddies into a decent university that they’ll give them ££££.

      Ellen: your school is too bloody nice. Can I transfer for two terms please? Why would you take A Level if you didn’t get your target? Either way, you’ll be fine, you’re a skinny info-absorbing mathmatical sponge.

      I’m always proud of you, darling. I’ll text you now.

    You know, non-acadamies get paid £8000 per pupil and I think that is by term. Being an academy, we don’t get that sum of money but they sure as hell get gift aid donations, which with tax at the current rate….I doubt they need the £8000 in the first place. Thought I’d just interject there.
