Not for Halloween, but anything non-uniform can have affordability issues for parents and carers. Themes become very broad e.g. wear something red (but not MUFC shirts (other sports teams are available)), green, or sparkly on Christmas jumper day etc. Staff do WBD - students guess who they are.

Hard disagree from me, possibly because I’m a physics specialist. My understanding is that you wouldn’t offer a single science if there wasn’t a specialist to teach it, which reduces opportunity. Stick with combined.

Well done! Having given up on joggy walking due to heel pain, and in celebration of starting a new job in January, I joined the gym last week. Feeling my way, and trying to figure out how best to log my progress (apparently I can use my watch, but epic failure so far). Keep on, keeping on 🤩

Excellent bidding. Was there no merit in trying to find out if his partner had A❤️ or a void seeing as the shuffling was somewhat skewed?
