Stopped? Yep, unless school policy has changed you both got your marching orders. As for allowed? Well, as said above, it's a grey area. Unless you're advocating a totalitarian regime, best option IMO is ensure there is open access to information and education on sexual health, consent, and sexuali...

Thank goodness for that - the foyer was tiny!

A friend of mine’s brother passed away in this car crash sadly.

I think they are extending the foyer too!

It was a great palce. i was at CH from 1978-1984 and perhaps witnessed the wonder years of Duncan Noel-Patton productions. I even acted in 3 myself. It was indeed a massive stage and depsite the awful red benches and red surroundings, the quality of the performances on stage soon put to rest any po...

Does the Prep Hall still get used for productions of any kind? By the time I was at CH (1992), the prep hall had been converted into two classrooms (mr Stannard - RE and Mr Fleming (archaeology). When they started renovating the boarding houses (2001-2010?), the prep block was used as a ‘decant’ bo...

The seating was awful when I was first at the school in the early 90s - it was replaced with much more comfortable seating in around 96 I think. The ‘moveable’ galleries at the back of the stage were fixed down due to health and safety but they have sorted them out now so they move pneumatically I t...

Ridiculous - I think the council will be liable for costs!

I remember Snook a little, from Norfolk broads trips. My memories of him are that he sailed fast and wound up JDS bY sailing faster than him!

I think it’s their website that I’ve never liked the design of that seems to hide the link you are trying to find!

Eton College to offer 12 free sixth form places https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-48902808

when CH has been doing WAY more than this for years?

Maybe it’s because Eton is on a massive pr exercise as they are worried about the next PM?

Yes, that makes sense; there were a couple on my year too

I am very saddened by this. Martin never taught me and retired soon after I started at ch but he was always well regarded; I wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg with him though. Just a brief query; the boy he abused was 10 - but there weren’t any 10 year olds at CH surely at that time, the prep...

I think so

Yes, he taught me maths on my 3rd form which was 93-84
