Go on, admit it. You’ve always suspected that the Scary School Secretary, who rules the head teacher, the pupils and the parents with a rod of iron, was about to snap. She sits there all day long, in her dust-coloured cardi, answering the phone in a pinched, hyper-polite voice as though she was a millimetre away from going banana-loopy-doodahs. Well, now she has finally lost it, and this is what it sounds like:

Actually, it’s a recording from a school in Australia that a lovely friend sent me. It’s supposed to be genuine. I sort of hope it is!

Isn’t it fab? So glad you could hear it properly, I had to get the lovely Andy from ADD Creative to put it on the blog for me as it was waaaay beyond my payscale!

I would love it if this was the answering machine message at EVERY school.

Definitely, we should make it a law ….should also have similar at Ikea, doctor’s surgery, dentist, mobile phone companies …

Wow! I’m impressed you got this onto your blog!!! I wouldn’t have a clue.
I’m always scared ringing the school, not because they’re scary but just because….
Love it!

It wasn’t me, it was my clever friend Andy – he is a technical whizz!

That is just BRILLIANT!!!! It love the line that says – “if you want us to raise your child…” Every school should have that voicemail!

Yes, I think I would have pressed that option several times a day at some points ….
