No news yet!

Returned to school today for a new term of a new year and I still haven't heard back from the University. Am I on the course? Will I be MA-less in two years? Please, some sort of contact would be good (especially as the first session is later this month).

The return itself has not been so great. My timetable is horrendous (all but one free occur in week A of a two-week timetable), nearly all of my sets are shared with at least one other teacher (definitely not good) and my tutor group is an 'Intervention' group about 50% bigger than lots of the other tutor groups and currently destined for D grades. The thinking here is that we work on their maths during tutor time to try to get them up to the magic 'C'. So that's 2.5 extra hours teaching per week!

Still, I'm going to stay positive and try to manage the timetable by being really organised with my planning. I might try to do something I haven't managed in 15 years and that's plan the whole week on a Sunday!

Good luck to everyone starting a new term tomorrow.
