Mother Hen

I felt a bit like a Mother Hen last week. We had a couple of visitors to school, one of whom was the Director General of Education. A colleague and I had been asked to meet with them briefly, along with a few pupils, to discuss a project we had undertaken. I stood and listened to those 3 pupils whom I’d worked closely with, answer confidently and honestly all the questions that were thrown at them and never was I so proud. Their answers were exemplary (and they hadn’t even been primed!) It was a joy to watch young adults delight in giving their views and opinions and really see where they were coming from. Stars, all three.
