Leaving school


Jordan has the rest of this academic year plus one more then he is hopefully off to Lewisham College.

I had a good chat with a lady from Connexions who is there to support us through the process, which is a relief. Fortunately Jordan will go with two fellow students, one of whom is his best mate at school. So, more relief! In their final year, they will do a link with Lewisham College one day a week to help the transition. It's all looking good on paper.

He is 18 on Monday and appears to be growing a beard! I don't know where the years have gone, seriously.

st wishes and good luck to Jordan on the birthday, the academia and the beard too. Bit late with the catch-up, so please forgive us all. It's the snow ;D

Arf! Thanks Nick. Actually he and his sister had a joint birthday bash at a local Mexican cantina (her birthday is three days later). We all had an excellent time and his dad and I both remarked on how relaxed we felt out and about with Jordan. When he was younger any family excursion could be a very volatile occasion.
