"I was going to be responsible and reuse a thread Evie! started "over a year ago" but when I read it back I realised it is now several years old. So, it's that time of year again when the school reports come in and other achievements get recognised. We'll have the exam results in a month too and the SAT results are now available. Here's the thread for it. I am proud as can be that in their SATs one of ours has achieved overall highest for the year and the other overall highest for their class (separate classes). The school reports make me well up when I read about their kindness to others. They musical plaudits have had us glowing like we've eaten Ready Brek and we've got the sporty things to be announced. Let's celebrate our children and young people. Tell me (us) about yours. " Music going well then | |||

"My daughter's had a rough year health wise and the first week of her final year in primary school was missed, which followed in emergency surgery a few weeks later, the week of her birthday and more time off school. She was desperate to get back to school and visited her friends just a few days after her surgery and explained her illness to everyone in her class in such a mature way. She went on to be voted House Captain, head of the Student Council and an anti-bullying ambassador (which she has been for three years). She excelled in every subject this year, feeling that she needed to put in extra effort in anticipation of further surgeries and absences. Her school report was extra special this year, the personal comments from her teacher and the head teacher (rather than the copy and paste stuff) showed that they really knew her and shared in our pride at having such an amazing daughter. I have a tear in my eye right now, she's been through so much for one so young and handled it with more maturity than most adults I know would have whilst remaining the kind, caring and considerate child I'm proud is my daughter." That is so wonderful and heartwarming to read. May she go on to conquer all at secondary. | |||

"I am so very proud of my 11 yr old son as in his national reading tests he scored above average, and for his numeracy tests he scored well above the national average (for Wales), but what I am most proud of is the glowing report from his form teacher. She wrote that his 'manners towards his teachers and classmates is of a high standard' and 'he always makes a positive contribution to the class through cheerfulness, enthusiasm and perseverence'! " It's those sorts of comments that make a report worth reading. Well done to him. | |||

"My daughter was never academic, so when she realised she would never get good enough grades to go to university she asked if she could leave school. I said she could if she got a job. So she got one. Then she met her boyfriend, moved to Leicester, and got another one. Now she is embarking on a career, having passed her driving test first time, and I couldn't be more proud of her. She's a lovely young woman and we get on like a house on fire." Good for her. Knowing herself and setting out to get what she wants... sounds a bit like her mother. | |||

I'm so sorry to hear that. For all the faults of our primary the special needs children are fully integrated and there is no bullying. | |||

"I have two very different children when it comes to school so this time of year can be very bittersweet. The youngest is bright, sporty, confident & always has a brilliant report. My oldest has had a challenging few years at senior school & is now waiting on tenterhooks for the GCSE results. On the plus side he has managed to overcome his nervousness, attended interviews & has been offered a place at 2 colleges for September " Well done to him. Overcoming nervousness is a big achievement. | |||

"My daughter isn't very academically minded, she worried that she hadn't got any questions correct at all in the SATS, I got her results and in all subjects except maths she was hitting the expected targets in all of her teachers assessments. She was even hitting national targets in her spelling, punctuation and grammar SAT! After 2 years of bullies, struggling in class and trying to deal with growing up I couldn't be any prouder! " Well done that young woman! Given the low pass rate across the country she has done very well indeed. | |||

"Most who have read my posts over the years know ive always been a super proud Mum.. This year again she has had a brilliant report, above average in a few of her Year 1 subjects, is free reading and scored excellently in her phonic test What im most proud of though is her way of dealing with her emotions. She has made a 'worries' jar for school and home and if she doesnt feel confident to speak out she will write it down and when myself of a teacher notice it, we read them and then have a good old chit chat about it. 6 year olds get stressed too.. and i love my child with every beat of my heart. To watch her struggle in the past with conflicting 'friendships' and clash of personalities with school 'mates' hurts.. Ive always listened to her.. Blessed with a school who support and give amazing advice to make me a better parent and that encourage her to confront rather than bury problems. My little lady is growing up. So yes she is a smart cookie, but my biggest pride this year is her coping strategy with emotions xx" Emotional intelligence can be hard to learn (just look at some of the things that happen on here alone). Well done to your daughter for finding her way. | |||
