Re: Day Pupils.
I have to wonder if the 'Powers-That-Be' have REALLY thought this one through ! What is the competition like for independent schools in the catchment area? Does demand outstrip supply? In the current economic climate there has already been a decrease in demand for private education, and those paren...

Re: Not wanting to go back - is this common?
also flippantly, but maybe will help to put into context, this old story:- mum, I don't want to go back to school. of course you do, you know you'll enjoy it when you get there. mum, I really don't want to go back; nobody likes me, the work is too hard, it's horrible. but you have to go back why? be...

Re: Are we alone?
I was pretty outraged a few months ago by stories of unexplained increases, but it just seems to get worse. I am seriously considering stopping my monthly contribution in protest.

Re: Are we alone?

While it is true that CH is different, it is only 10 or so years since the government dropped assisted places at e.g. KEvi witley, CH's sister school. I wonder if anyone at CH has don...

Re: SHOES !!!!!!
