Re: Local activities for the active elderly?

100% recommend the CrossFit Shapesmiths 55+ Masters class. My 70yr old mother tried it out the other week and loved it.

Re: Proposed cuts to state school funding under new National Funding Formula

Re: Proposed cuts to state school funding under new National Funding Formula

And it's not just affecting primary schools, it's secondary schools too! Chestnut Grove could lose £1,317 and Dunraven £1,000. I'm all for fairness and transparency in how schools are funded and London schools do receive much higher funds than in rural areas, but the biggest problem with this fundin...
