It's been a long 6 weeks for some parents and this week sees kids heading back to school. But this little girl looked worse for wear after her first day!
My youngest son has started year 10 today and begun his GCSE's. It feels like such a milestone, but driving to work this morning, I couldn't help but think how young all the new starters for our local high school looked! I think I must be getting old though, as everyone is looking younger these days! I cant believe my eldest son is starting Uni this year and he moves out on Saturday!!!
Have your kids gone back to school now? Are you feeling relieved or missing them already?
As the kids go back to school, this little girl looks worse for wear!

My sister has just started Year 10. She was excited to get her timetable yesterday, but wasn't to happy about 'proper lessons' starting today!Scope

My youngest daughter started year 5 today, but after a late start she left the house looking a lot more like the second picture than the first! Dread to think how she'll come home.
My eldest doesn't start back until tomorrow so is spending the day about as 'productively' as can be.Community Manager

My little sister went back to “school” today. She is homeschooled but loosely following the published Year 1 schemes of work during her lessons.

I get confused by the year names used now. When I was at school, you did your O levels in 5th year. Lower 6th was for first A level year and Upper 6th was the year A levels were taken.

Yes I remember those days.
Starting senior school was year 1 and you could leave at the end of year 4.
Year 5 was 0 levels.
First years at school were just called Infants and Juniors.
Aaaah.... memories -

Hi @pollyanna1052. It’s definitely changed a lot hasn’t it?
They now just number the years all the way through, apart from reception class which is age 4-5. Year 1 is 5-6. Year 7 (11-12) is usually (but not always!) the start of secondary school and you do your GCSEs in year 10 and 11. Year 12 and 13 are Sixth Form and when you do your AS and A Levels.
Obviously it’s completely different in Scotland and just to confuse things, some places in England vary it up too.Community Manager
