Re: Info on state secondaries: Graveney, Chestnut, Hurlingham etc

And I also feel very strongly that you have turned this thread into a bashing for Ashcroft and that is unfair. There are plenty of children and parents there who are happy you are doing everyone a disservice. If you feel so strongly take it to the school and to the council. And seriously, your conpa...

Re: Info on state secondaries: Graveney, Chestnut, Hurlingham etc

Look. No school is perfect and i understand your due diligence, we all do whether parents or not. But the way you have phrased your request is rude.

Re: Info on state secondaries: Graveney, Chestnut, Hurlingham etc

You re asking strangers on the internet to give you their opinions on schools but only of it is in the format that you have deemed acceptable. Or you are trying to get the internet to do your own research for a master...

Re: How do you keep your children grounded?

I agree with the 2 posters above. To add something we do as well is to explain the true cost of things, how much one must earned to be able to afford what they have. They know how much we need to earn so we cab pay their private (including the vat now) education, or when travel and our holidays. I a...
