End of another year…

So, as we close our jars and tidy up the dispensary all that is left of the academic year are the final 2 days of exams. Four days of exams have been successfully completed, and the students are still alive, and I hope, revising. And I hope, getting enough sleep.

Top tip: read Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker

It’s £5.99 and worth every penny, especially if it makes our students get enough sleep so their brains and memory are in tip-top condition.

But that’s just an aside. It has been a very satisfying year, we are finding our stride and learning from feedback from our students. We love the give-and-take discussions that happen around the dinner table. Especially when our students say things like; ‘We think this course is very special’. So do we, guys.

We eat outside whenever we can. And there is always lots to discuss…

Applying for accreditation is still ongoing. We are taking our time, making sure we get all the paperwork right -it is a huge task, but we are doing well. After the end of the exam period, this will be our main area to concentrate on and get that under our belt.

Our new administrator has settled in well, and we couldn’t run the school without her. Well, not without us having nervous breakdowns. New office hours are in operation, to cope with the surge of inquiries we have had recently, and an accountant is being added to our staff; that leaves us with the fun task of writing modules and teaching students.

See you in September – the beginning of Year 4!
