Molly Bruton... her school days in pictures...

Incredibly, Molly Alice Bruton finished her GCSEs last week. I was going to say she finished her compulsory education, but the ridiculous state of education in this day and age means she has to stay on until 18, as does everyone else, whether they want to or not. Yes, fair enough, she would have stayed on anyway, but that's not the bloody point.

So. A lifetime in education... her lifetime at least. And yes, this is all being done because:

1) I love her dearly.
2) It's great fun embarrassing her this way.

So, here we go...

2003: The very first day at school, St Chads Birmingham. Doesn't she just look adorable?

2006: We move to Yorkshire, which means it's her last day at St Chads Birmingham...

.... and her first days at St Mary & St Joseph Pocklington....

 

After so many lovely years at St Mary & St Josephs, she had to leave eventually, so it's 2010 and she's finishing primary school. There were tears. Of course there were tears.

And leaving Primary School naturally means starting secondary school.... Sept 2010...Woldgate College...

 

And now it's 2015. Which means she's 15, and she's just finished her GCSE exams. She's got 12 weeks off. And these were her last days at Woldgate College....
