Teaching isn’t about results; it’s about the kids. But let’s be honest here, if all your pupils failed their exams you be a little down to put it mildly. So when you’ve had year nine and tens moaning and complaining and wanting to get you sacked those module test results and SATs result seem pretty important.

So I was mightily relieved when my pupils from both classes came out with fantastic results. Though I couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed with them for bitching so much and then doing so brilliantly in the tests. I almost went in to the next lesson with them having a go at them for doing so well.
