We have invited fourteen children to start in preschool in August. There were as many more on the waiting list, and that is without counting the ones who were too young, and the ones who were too old.
We have full grades up through grade four next year and I think it is fair to say that the school has entered a more established phase, a time with focus on how to improve quality and consolidate rather than build, but that is jumping ahead.
Next year our first two pupils are due to take their O Level exams from Cambridge International Examinations in England. There are still many challenges for us as we seek to develop our capacity to teach the higher grades.
The focus for the next couple of weeks are the exams in the second week of June. The children are studying harder than they have been; at least some are. We are looking forward to seeing evidence of our efforts this year. We see that all the time in children who read and write and get their numbers right, but there seems to be extra magic attached to the results of the timed work that some call exams.
