My hands were busy through the day,

I didn?t have much time to play

The little games you asked me to.

I didn?t have much time to do


I?d wash your clothes and sew and cook

And when you brought your picture book

And ask me please to share your fun,

I?d say: ?A little later, son.?


I?d tuck you in all safe at night

And hear your prayers, turn out the light,

Then tiptoe softly to the door?

I wish I?d stayed a minute more.


For life is short, the years rush past?

A little boy grows up so fast.

No longer is he at your side,

His precious secrets to confide.


The picture books are put away,

There are no longer games to play,

No good-night kiss, no prayers to hear?

That all belongs to yesteryear.


My hands, once busy, now are still.

The days are long and hard to fill,

I wish I could go back and do

The little things you asked me to

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
