Did anyone else hear a rowdy crowd around 8am this morning. They sounded like football supporters - blowing whistles and horns, chanting etc.

Stevenage are playing Sheffield United tonight in a play off semi final - it could be some 'blades' who booked local accommodation maybe - northerners can be a noisy lot!!

It's a group of boys from Richard Hale, some of them dressed up. No idea why.

The other day some Presdales girls were in Ware dressed up with "2012 Leavers" on various madeup sweatshirts.. perhaps they don't have to go back to school till exams???? Just a thought steve [:D]

I saw some boys dressed up this morning at just after 8 am near Tesco's looked like school uniform with extra hats etc.

In that case it will be the year 11s going off on their study leave - its a new fangled idea that if you let them off school now they will revise until the GCSE exams in June/July. It will never work. A few years ago they padlocked many of the year 7s in the tennis courts and then had a bit of sport throwing eggs, water bombs, etc. at them. Apparently they had to keep opening the gate to let some of the little blighters in as some felt they were being excluded by not being in the courts at the right time... now that's the sort of kindness and consideration that only comes from proper schooling.

quote:Not necessarily! My daughter is in year 11 at Sele. She comes off her standard "full time" timetable today and starts the new "part time" one as from Monday. However she will be in school nearly every day for revision classes and exams (her first one is next week), when not in school she will be at home revising. Many of her friends are them same, so don't judge them all negatively!
