Academic Mentoring Day = Catch up Day

Today is "Academic Mentoring Day" which is when the students are off timetable and they meet, with their parents, with form tutors to discuss target setting for the forthcoming year. From my point of view it has been a great day to catch up with many of the things I haven't been able to do recently. I've managed to do some work on my Librarian's Chartership, which unfortunately hasn't been very high on my priority list for the last couple of months, but hope to have lots more evidence that I can use for my portfolio once the library re-opens and eventually can add "MCLIP" after my name!. One of the nastier jobs has also been attempted - revamping the library policy. The last one, as far as I know, was written in circa 1986 so not surprisingly needed substantial updating. Luckily I had produced a library policy a couple of years ago whilst in my last job, and with a bit of updating and adding points pertinent to the school I think it looks good. Just passed it onto my line manager for approval and hopefully it can be implemented soon.
