Hi Msgee and thanks for your reply, that all sounds great! There are a few children at Kingsdale that my daughter went to primary school with ( before our move) so she there will be a few familiar faces, like your son my daughter is also not the most extrovert of kids!

We are both very excited and can't wait for music activities to kick in!

And yes, I also saw the 70% pass rate news - is that actually possible! I am not particularly bothered by pass rates, as schools are about a lot more than academic success, but if that's the improvement they have made, then ... respect! (I believe that is the right term to use in London?)

Has anyone got info about the bus pick up times? I know we had provisional times in the orginal letter but the routes look as if they have changed quite a bit. I know there were staff testing the routes yesterday, but my daughter didn't think any info was given out. Anyone know different?
It starts at 7.00pm in the Upper School Library (behind the pod) and usually lasts 1.5-2 hours but depends on how many people want to speak. It only takes about an hour to work through the agenda but the AOB can stretch. As it will be the first meeting for many people, I expect there will be a large turnout. Luckily, refreshments are provided!
My daughter is loving the school bus - she was doing one way but now switched to return trip as well - I got the impression the school is worried about whether there's enough take up for the return journey. Hats off to the head though - he has been on her bus most days talking to the kids about how it's going and asking if the timing of the return journey works for them.
Yes the school bus makes things a lot easier. And I agree about the Head - this week my son came home saying the school has bought some new outdoor equipment and the Head and a Deputy came out at lunchtime and tried it out with the Year 7s. How cool is that!

    • The Toronto is boring amused me.  I was thinking of Philadelphia but when I reconsidered, Toronto seemed the obvious place.  But my research came to your conclusion that it is in deed dull. I've been to Vancouver twice but found that surprisingly sterile too.  I'll raise your Sydney with my San Fran and Wellington, both bay cities like Vancouver but I found far more cultural.  Although that is obvious with San Fran. I've probably got myself banned from the US with this thread and my views on Trump posted elsewhere. In your suggested tour what about the towns and cities where the National Guard has been called.  That would be fun. Kansas is apparently a great place but will be frighteningly hot I expect
    • Fifa are discussing expanding it to 64 teams for the 2030 tournament South America, which would mean 128 games. That's mad. They're aren't enough hours in the day to watch that much football and I'd have to move house to find a place with enough space for my 'Super Sun World Cup Wall Chart'. There are games in Mexico and Canada in 2026, so that's an option. Mexico will be unbearably hot, Toronto will be unbearably dull - Leonard Cohen once described it as 'New York run by the Swiss' and he was spot on  -  so I'd say Vancouver. Possibly the most beautiful setting for a city outside Sydney and a great food scene. Nick over the border and there are matches in Seattle as well. The Amtrak train down from Seattle to San Francisco, another WC venue, through Oregon is staggering - and they have an observation car with a bar! Portland and Eugene are worth a couple of nights as well. That part of northern California and the Pacific Northwest is the most un-Trumpy part of the US, so I wouldn't worry too much and Vancouver is surprisingly interesting, for Canada at least. You've actually made me think about making the trip again.
