Back to school

As some of you might have guessed already I've been a bit busy for the last week ago. Schools in England are very much back in business and as an NQT in a new job, with my own form, I'm finding myself a bit overwhelmed and overworked. I can't complain too much. I'm at an independant school, and although it's not selective the majority of my classes are well behaved and eager to learn. I know many of my colleagues from my PGCE course last year must be having a much harder time that me, at challenging schools around the country.

So if you're a new teacher this week, of whatever kind, good luck to you. David Stancliffe's Science Army will prevail!
