Impromptu fun day

Awwwh - this is sweet. It turned up on my phone on Monday. The school had checked the weather forecast for the week and decided that because we're still basking in some decent summer weather, instead of a normal Weds, they have booked out the local outdoor swimming pool and told all the kids both from Anna and Amaia's school and from Léon's school just to come with their swimming stuff, a picnic and sun tan lotion and have a pool day today - all day! Nice way to ease yourself into the new term. Happy kids.

Impromptu just isn't a word you connect with Scottish schools. You would never ever have anything like this happen. Academia would always be prioritised for starters, and you certainly would never get a pool trip without all sorts of consent forms, rules etc.
