The news recently about failing primary schools is putting everyone on edge; only this morning the assistant head Janet subjected me to a ten minute lecture – in front of the rest of the staff – for finishing the last of the coffee in the staffroom.

And now little Bobby’s parents Mr and Mrs Perpetually Irritating want to have a meeting with the head, which apparently I have to attend, about how this will affect their precious boy’s development and what we, as a school, intend to do about it. I expect what we shall do about will be what we always do which is to work our proverbials off, spend most of the holidays coming up with new action plans for Ed Balls, and then fail to meet his mercurial targets because they either don’t actually apply to us, don’t make sense or are impossible to achieve.
