Re: Nextdoor.co.uk

So have the envelopes been hand delivered or has the Royal Mail delivered them?

Re: Broomwood Hall - Garrad's Road Prep Closure

I would suggest calling any of the other schools you rejected and seeing if you can join their waitlists

You certainly have grounds to get out of the contract you signed and to get your deposit back

Re: Broomwood Hall - Garrad's Road Prep Closure

I'm not surprised as they have been trying to open a new senior school for some time but were refused permission to convert a property on Sudbrooke Rd Garrards Rd was previously less popular than the Ramsden Road site - I'm not sure if that is still the case Press info here https://www.northwoodscho...

Re: Age ID checks to be put in place online in the UK so kids cannot access p*rn

Seems dubious giving personal information such as passport details or driving licence to a third party

Surely everyone will just use VPN instead to bypass the checks

Kids will still see p0rnographic images via other sites like Instagram

Re: In-laws voted leave. They've removed my children's freedom of movement and I can't cope with seeing them any longer.

Surely you are being intolerant?
Why must they repent?
Why not stick to the not discussing Brexit plan?

If you didn't know how they voted then all would be well?

Re: Henry Cavendish & Rutherford House schools

Surprised that you would be in the catchment for both tbh

Rutherford House was 716m last year at offer day
HC Balham was 239m

Does HC have a uniform?
The Rutherford one looks pricey
