Sara attended her usual duties at Morning Star this morning and I attended Mid-Week Eucharist at Whaddon which was taken by Andrew. After the service I attended a meeting at the Alderbury vicarage for photos to be taken for the team website and other uses and this was followed by a full Team Meeting. I stayed for a lovely lunch of soup and bread and cheese and afterwards, after a couple of errands in Salisbury, picked Mary up from school in Laverstock. This evening the whole family went to Peter Symonds College in Winchester which is one of Thom's choices for his A-Level studies. We encountered torrential weather there - thunder, lightning, hail and torrential rain - getting soaked as we moved from faculty to faculty. I was extremely impressed with the college which has the second best results in the whole of Hampshire and the best results for a state run establishment. At present Thom's preferred subjects are English Language & Literature, Sociology and Modern History. A fourth subject could be Law. He certainly veers towards the social sciences. On the way back Sara and I confirmed to him the need for him to study hard and concentrate on getting good GCSE grades if he wants to go to Peter Symonds. It is clear that such a good college is going to be overscribed for places next year and so good GCSE grades will be essential.
