• Autumn Statement

  Fri 18 Nov 2022

  You may have seen a summary of the Autumn statement from the Government yesterday. Thankfully, schools are due to see a further £2.3 billion injection into school budgets each year for the next two years. This is sensible and prudent given the current national mess but, as usual and as I continued to say throughout the pandemic when announcements were made, the devil will be in the detail. There are currently 32,163 schools in the UK of which 20,806 are primary schools, 23 are middle schools and 4190 secondary schools. I'll be interested to see what our funding share is of this.

   

  Clearly, we face a challenging time nationally given the current financial climate. However, Claypole will endure! Jodi Picoult once wrote in her novel ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ that “The human capacity for burden is like bamboo – far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.” I believe she is right. Keep smiling!

• Remembrance Day 2022

  Fri 11 Nov 2022

  Each year, the eleventh day of the eleventh month sobers me with some catastrophic statistics. Across the world, there were 9.7 million military deaths and 10 million civilian deaths. That alone, is just monstrous. The UK lost 886,342 troops and 109,000 civilians. As with any sustained conflict, these casualties defined the nations of the kingdom with all families affected at the time. These fine young men and women gave their lives so that future generations could live theirs. We owe it to them, the generations that followed them and to serving uniformed colleagues today to remember their sacrifice. In the finest of words by William Shakespeare, “Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear.”
