We got our year nines' SATs results back this week. I was fortunate enough to not have to worry about getting the all-important level 5s as I have a top set. As it happens my class did very well and achieved fourteen (fourteen!) level 8s. Which is odd because they've been pains-in-the-neck all year long.

So people have been congratulating me on this success all week. It's nice but I reckon some of those kids could have got level 8s if they'd been taught by a slightly above average intelligence chimp so I feel a bit of a fraud.
