Re: Private school officials called Labour’s Bridget Phillipson ‘chippy’ as it steps up campaign against VAT on schools

There is debate about how many children would leave the independent sector as a result of the imposition of the tax. Those in favour say the impact would not be significant (as fees have been rising for years with little impact on enrolment). Those against say it would be significant and burden the ...

Contacts at local PTA's?

Hello
I'm trying to get in contact with PTA's at some local schools, eg. Eaton House, Holy Ghost, Newton Prep, Finton House, White House - if you are a member of this community or even better, part of the PTA there, could you DM me and I can elaborate!
Many thanks

Re: Split of responsibilities with your partner

I think that is the deal, explicit or implicit, in a lot of households - whoever earns more keeps going to earn more, and the other one becomes the primary carer, with all the career impact that involves. Men tend to be a little older and tend to choose higher-paying jobs so there's a definite vicio...

Re: Honeywell Junior School New Ofstead

Further to a previous reply, there are new policies in place at Ofsted that mean more frequent inspections (previously Outstanding schools didn’t need to get re inspected regularly) and something like a forced curve that fewer schools will be rated Outstanding. The vast majority of primary schools t...

Re: Botox questions and recommendations

It will definitely work, no question. I had it done recently, at Therapie near Clapham Junction, on the recommendation of a friend who'd had it done at Therapie in Marylebone. I wasn't very scared about it (know plenty of people who have done it) but it was my first. Also the furrows between the eye...

Re: Cleaner

Hi, our cleaner started with us in June. She came with strong recommendations from a family she'd been with for 25 years (!) and she is with us every afternoon. She is available mornings if you'd be interested. DM me and I can give you her number. Thanks

Re: Economics tutorial needed

I’m not an economist but am interested in the topic, layperson style. So am intrigued by your post. Can you say what exactly is confusing you? Feel free to DM me. I just found a detailed breakdown of the UK current account on the ONS/GOV website which might be useful. Re tutors, there are lots of on...

Re: recommendations for Dr Practice

I've also been really disappointed by Thurleigh lately. I was looking to move to one with is as digitally enabled as possible and am in the process of switching to Begg Practice on St John's Road, which appears to fit this description and be highly rated.

Re: How much does private healthcare cost and is it worth it?

We were with Aviva for quite a few years (until I left full-time work through which I'd been getting private insurance). Found it to be pretty good both in terms of coverage and also dealing with claims etc, but the premium kept getting hiked signficantly each year. Started at £200ish/month and kept...

Re: Child psychologist

Hi, I know you're probably looking for personal recommendations - and you're welcome to DM me for that - but just to say that BACP has a directory where you can look for local practitioners. I'd also say that you should consider speaking to his teacher/school, if you feel comfortable doing that. The...
