This is where my daughter attends school. It is a primary school and middle school combined…read more In Dorset we still have primary education until Year 7, but will fall into line with the rest of the country by 2010. St Mary's is a school of around 630 pupils. It's does extremely well in the league tables, which I, personally, disapprove of. I feel that SATs should be scrapped. The school community is very caring whilst encouraging personal independance. Each pupil is encouraged to be efficacious, as well as a good team member. The upper years have regularly won trophies at different sports, and interests also include the environment, St Mary's Organic Garden, music, drama and many other disciplines. My daughter plays in the school band, and sings in three choirs.

As an Examinations Invigilator, this is my second year at Poole Grammar School having worked in…read morethis environment prior to moving to Wimborne. I am very impressed. The present system works. There are occasional little local difficulties, but these are overcome within minutes. We are after all human. Maybe a few tweeks for next year otherwise brilliant organising. Congratulations are in order to Malcolm, Sue and Lynn getting on board the required number of Invigilators for the various days/weeks/months. Long hours and hard work in processing all the examination paperwork in the right rooms at the right times in such a professional and orderly fashion is amazing. They must walk miles in a day I truly believe outsiders have no idea how the system really works and the long hours put in to making the exam period run so smoothly. As for the students themselves, we know a few of them really don't want to be sitting in an exam room at all, but I have never come across such well behaved students in such a large school. Congratulations to the Parents as well as the Teachers. Also a big thank you to the Teachers for acknowledging us when we are in the school environment. It makes life easy and the job worth doing. With just a few more Invigilating days before all exams are finished, I hope to see you all next year, except the leavers, good luck in what the future holds. Anne Wells
