Congratulations on your success - we wish you a long and happy career

Touch wood obviously, dude, but that sounds rather like you've done it to me.

YAAAAAAYYY *squeee*..

Except... I spent AGES staring at the letter waiting for you to get home. AGES! They could at least have the decency to write a proper confirmation grr! :P

But wooo! Does this mean we's moving to Hatfield??? :O

*wiggles*

Right... I'm going to go and find you downstairs. :P

What happens next.... lurkinggherkin July 18 2006, 14:31:15 UTC

....is that they pass their recommendation to the GTC along with your file photo.

The GTC ignore the recommendation. If they think that your face fits, then you pass. If they think you look a bit creepy or something, you fail.

Take solace in the fact that evidently neither guydebec nor riculf looked creepy enough to be failed. Which means that the GTC would probably have passed the Kray twins. So just relax....you'll sail it!

It sounds to me like they're telling you you got it. Going to 'the General Teaching Council for the award of Qualified Teacher Status' sounds like a rubber stamping deal, and they're recommending you to get stamped. I could be wrong, of course, but that's how I'm reading it - go you! You SO deserve it.
