Re: School advice please

Have you considered Sacred Heart in Battersea?  It's the most wonderful school with a brilliant SENCO.  Very inclusive with an excellent Head.    I have a son with autism who went there and he thrived.

Re: Child with ASD - Honeywell, Belleville, Ravenstone, Beatrix Potter, Allfarthing or Swaffield?

Re: Weekend pedestrianisation of Northcote Road will begin at Easter

The bus diversion is such a pain as well.  We liv...

Re: Youth Mentoring - bmactive (Coach Ben and Coach Elliot)

I simply can't recommend Ben & Elliott enough.  They have been working with my 12 year old son for over a year and he has gained in confidence so much.

I would highly recommend.

Our daughter wasn't very happy and i think the main problem with honeywell is that they don't move the classes about - so from day...

Re: State kids going private. Parents in the PTA?

The Government actually want more non parent governors so i know a lot of schools are encouraging it. I know a Governor at one of the local schools is a deputy head at a private school - guess it's good to have lots of different input. x
