Though the majority of August has felt somewhat autumnal in terms of the weather, the kids have had a busy few weeks enjoying time with their friends, taking trips to the cinema, spending afternoons out shopping, going on days out to Blackpool, and E celebrated her eleventh birthday whilst J collected an amazing GCSE result for his RE GCSE which he sat earlier this year. August has certainly been eventful though enjoyable despite the endless wind, rain, and even hail. Here’s hoping for some September sunshine! Thank you for reading this month’s #LivingArrows . I look forward to catching up with your #LivingArrows either …
Living Arrows
This past month has been the end of an era for our kids as E took part in her final sports day, attended her final presentation day, and celebrated the last month of her time in primary school with a spectacular leavers party.

Come September E will be starting …
Like most kids at this point in the school year, ours have had a really busy month with endless activities, trips, and things to do before the summer holidays land.

May has been the month of change, both in terms of the weather and in terms of circumstances. E sat her dreaded SAT exams, followed shortly by her Cyclewise course both of which I’m almost certain that she aced. J, meanwhile spent weeks on end revising like a demon for his RE GCSE examinations which he the completed and I’m sure he will have excelled in. E’s amazing artwork was featured in a local exhibition and whilst on our travels to view said masterpieces, we dropped E’s beloved flute off with the local ‘music man’ for a service and repair. Much …
Though April has felt like an especially long month for myself, on the flip side – time seems to be flying for the kids. Whilst J has been busy preparing himself for his upcoming GCSE exams, E has been occupied studying for her SATs and adding climbing to her skillset. Not only did she impress us all with her speedy, no-fear, climbing skills at Clip ‘n’ Climb but she was then invited to a climbing wall-based birthday party at one of our local climbing centres. Needless to say, E was very much ‘up’ for it and had great fun ‘hanging …
