Last Thursday night, I got a phone call saying that the Department for Education would send emails to all free school applicants at 9.30am the following day (Fri 13) to say whether or not we had been invited to move forward on implementing our proposals. And, the successful applicants only would also receive a phone call before 9.30am.

So, I found it a little difficult to sleep on Thursday night, and found things with which to busy myself on Friday morning, before the phone rang at 9.15am – with the good news that we are going ahead with the vision for Tyndale Community School!
