Most of the replies you've had so far have been in relation to city corporate law so thought I'd widen the pool a bit - although it's not much better news. I'm a divorce lawyer. In my field it is possible to work alone but you first need to go to law school, get a training contract (against very sti...
My daughter joined SCP last September from another local prep school and we could not be happier with the school. Our daughter is absolutely thriving there, she's made great friends, does a wide range of extra-curricular activities and has made huge advances academically under the guidance of some w...
Has Broomwood now dropped its plan to expand the Upper School to run to 16? They bought a neighbouring building behind to try and do this but didn't get planning. When I last spoke to the head they were still trying to find a way to do it. If so then 11/13+ prep is going to be very low priority. It ...
As you've noted upthread Hornsby is too oversubscribed for you to get places. It is worth asking why Broomwood always seems to have spaces for kids to join. My own experience is only of the lower school as my children left at 7+ so we never experienced Upper school/Northcote lodge. You are correct t...
Agree with what others have told you that the reason schools around here don't send kids to SPG or City is that JAGS is at the same level academically and much closer geographically (and has a much better site than City). Also do bear in mind that school's reputations can change a lot in a fairly sh...
Makes me wonder whether Mark Warner are in trouble. Whilst I understand their T & C give them the ability to do this surely it is an absolute last resort for them as PR wise it is a disaster and catastrophic for brand loyalty. MW's contracts do allow some form of refund for cancellation up to 14...
She believes that based on her expected GCSE grades that she will be unable to get into a "decent" university and that most high flying careers will be closed off to her. This is probably true. And if it is not true for her then it must, by definition be true, for the majority of people a...
One of the things I personally find faulty with that way of thinking is that it relies on a sterotypical (also sexist) view of what women want in life. It assumes that women just want to get married, have kids and then lounge around all day spending husband's cash. It's hugely reductive. In reality ...
Yes there really is quite a bit of moving about. In my DD's year at her old school 4 kids moved out of London mid-year and were quickly replaced with 4 new kids all from other local preps (including both Newton and Thomas's). Then 4 more left at the end of the year all heading to other local indepen...
