Re: Honeywell vs Belleville school

I had to make the same decision a few years back. Not easy because both are brilliant.
At the end, I found headteacher/management team at Belleville a bit more impressive, so my children went there. No regrets.

Re: Bolingbroke Academy appoints Claire Edis as principal

I hope she will be canvassing the area around the school to convince the parents that school will be a success...

Re: Witness Appeal - Gayville Rd robbery

Don’t know when it was the last time BTC that I saw police on the beat.

Shouldn’t there be CCTV in all these streets ?

Re: NSC reply to the Daily Mirror article

As I said, you don’t need to lecture me on rudeness; if people post inflammatory (and frankly silly) comments they should not be surprised to get emotional answers. So let’s move on : I’m sure the NSC had good reasons to choose the ARK, I’m sure they will be happy to comment I met a represen...

Re: NSC reply to the Daily Mirror article

Why do you think that somebody who can afford to shell out an “estimated £25,000 a ticket” would send his child to a local comprehensive ? Bolingbroke Academy has no track record, no reputation, no established feeder to Oxbridge, we have no idea if it will be good or bad. --- Wealthy people don...

Re: Open letter on possible Bolingbroke school

Baron Victoria Patriotic Building : as far I know flats, workshops and a drama school. So not sure how practical your idea... my daughter's class at Belleville is in a Portacabine - happens when councils don't take rapidly rising birth rates into account... and Fortbridge site expansion is a mess as...

Re: Open letter on possible Bolingbroke school

What will come into the public domain ? Don't understand. Has it ever crossed your mind that living next to a state school doesn't mean your children go to this school. There are dozens of private prep school BTC as there are near Wix (like Eaton House). That's why wix has 31% free school meals alth...
