Number 10

It was great to be invited to Downing St this week, I have always wanted to see behind the door! We were invited to celebrate the Free School programme and Mrs Yarnold and I managed to have a conversation with Nicki Morgan (The Education Minister) and also with the Prime Minister. The PM mentioned that his daughter had started in year seven that very morning. The BCCS new cohort of year seven began on Friday. They all looked very smart, though a few were still waiting on items of uniform! The new uniform suppliers have not had a good start and we will be looking into the delays in the first few weeks of term. Please be aware that lorries will be in the square for the first four weeks of term. They are moving the books from the central library so that construction work can begin. It is even more critical that you do not drive into the square. Staff are doing their bit by cycling and lift sharing and we have cut the school parking by more than a third.
