It doesn't seem like nearly 7 years ago when my son started in Reception at school. He does look oh so young on the obligatory first day at school photo:
He has mostly loved being at school (apart from Year 3) and coped very well with a change in primary for Year 4. Today was his leavers' assembly so I armed myself with a few tissues:
He obligingly posed for his last day at primary photo:
He definitely looks ready for secondary school even if I am not ready for him to be old enough! I am proud of how hard he has worked at school to improve his English from below expected to almost greater depth. His best results have always been in maths and he got the highest score in his school for SATs and only 1 mark off 100%!
I have loved watching him grow, develop and mature during his years at primary school and now I have to let him go more to continue his career whilst I stay at arms' length:
