Alan: Definitely wouldn’t meet if there’s an ongoing case. It could be completely innocent but something would be niggling at me that they are afraid of the court as they know they are in the wrong (I know there’s 2 sides to every story though).

Hi Adam.

As above, we have all experienced this at some point. It will change, just try to stay calm and perverse with it.

I would expect £5-10 contribution. This is what we done when we had a teacher leave for maternity leave

£30 seems quite alot to me!

Exactly, they put it down like it’s part of their uniform!

Be interesting to see how many children dont have one at the start of term.

Hope you can get a break soon!
