Re: Statement of Acknowledgement from CH
Well done to all those who have been involved in this. I'm no expert but i think it's a good statement which doesn't try to deflect or detract blame or accountability. I hope that for those direct victims it provides at least a small amount of comfort in acknowledging their suffering at the time and...

Re: Opinions on the recent ‘Final Band Parade’ Videos
Thanks for being prepared to put together an email. My thoughts: 1) it looked great. As if there were a group of kids who have had 2 severely disrupted years due to covid which caused them significant challenges but were able to enjoy a bit of well planned and harmless fun 2) it's good to see the sc...

Re: Elizabeth Cairncross
Unfortunately no it cannot. In order to obtain access to it, I had to approach the trial Judge, Christine Henson QC and state my reason. The reason I gave was that I wished to investigate her fitness for a role as Chair of Governors at Salisbury Cathedral School. I undertook not to distribute the t...

Re: Elizabeth Cairncross
I think it might be time for a word to the wise. This issue is clearly very important to some of our contributors for reasons which are entirely understood and, I think, fully justified by the cases that have been prosecuted to date. It would, however, be sensible to remember that this forum is acc...

Re: Does Being Bullied at School Help to Prepare You for Life?
No doubt the pot will be stirred and perhaps that was the intent, but let’s hope it doesn’t turn ugly! In my experience some of my contemporaries were subject to horrific bullying. I was often amazed by their resilience to keep going. In later life some have become successful, some have forgiven, an...

Re: The wacky world of catheters
I had one of those a few years ago when my back stuffed up. I told the doctor who had the pleasure of doing the plumbing work that he had just come to take the piss out of me. I don’t think he’d ever heard that one before!

Re: The End of Marching in to Lunch?
Might as well get rid of the uniform at the same time. They could turn big school into a JD sports so that pupils can get easy access to the right tracksuits for the conditions. Thinking it through a bit further, is there any need to actually go to the dining hall? an Uber Eats style arrangement cou...

This letter seems at odds with Robert's message on the schools response.

Could it be more about CH being an ideal location for a temporary hospital?

Re: Here's a hypothetical
I hope McCall is found before he gasps his pathetic last. I think he might be the most prolific of the lot, typically the worst evade their comeuppance. What can we do?

Isn't there another ex staff member (ERM) in exile in Thailiand? It seems you can join the web of grubs together quite easily

Re: Congratulations To Joe Launchbury
Hmmm, I can't help thinking that we'd be saying the same about Kruis or Lawes if either of them was the OB (I'm assuming we all agree that Itoji is a shoo-in). Joe is just unfortunate that we have great strength in depth in the 2nd row. As for ... the 3rd place playoff! shame on you, Elvie! Blasphe...

Re: Congratulations To Joe Launchbury
He'll probably get the full 80 mins of the 3rd place playoff!
Agree with comments, a great player, deserved a lions place. If anything he's probably too nice a bloke for Eddie

Re: Tom Lawson: the interview
did you pour 2 separate glasses or one after the other in the same glass?
