in a league of your own [geddit?!]

i know that, in this day and age, competitiveness in the world of education is frowned on  and we're all meant to get a lollipop just for turning up.  but, in the spirit of 'politically correct non-competitive competitiveness', i've started doing a monthly bi-monthly 'whenever i can be arsed' league table for the second year PDPs -  just to let them see how they're all coming along with their PDP targets for the year.

like many of my half-arsed schemes, it has inadvertently proved hugely popular, so i thought i'd extend it to your first-years PDPs as well.  if we are to draw a footballing analogy, then the second years are the premier league and you lot are battling it out for the chance to join the big time, or be ignominiously relegated to the 'south manchester amateur has-been division B'.

so "play up! play up and play the game!" as someone [rudyard kipling?] once said.

in my managerial capacity, i shall of course be adopting a gruff scottish accent and shouting encouragement from the touchline, clad in a sheepskin coat and clutching a mug of bovril and a half-eaten pork pie.

[you get one point for a studio log entry, one point for a review and a half point for anything else, which disnae quite scale those exalted literary heights]
