  1. Dutch king says his nation failed Jewish community during football fan attacks – like during Second World War https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/amsterdam-israel-football-ajax-maccabi-attacks-king-netherlands-b2643792.html Is this one of the usual suspects?
  2. lol, well if you took the example i gave about Phuket seriously then yes a private jet, or perhaps a speedboat and island hop to school. Now back to reality and do what most parents do, a school in their catchment traveling area. Which I did mention but you ignored and preferred the outliner option.
  3. Of course it can, if you have a private jet you could also hop on a flight to school. But the vast majority of parents get a school in their own traveling catchment area.
  4. Why, because of outliners in Phuket? You really need to think a little on this.
  5. So? I know a family who travel from Koh Lak to Kathu in Phuket daily, for a private school, takes about 5 hours of daily driving.....
  6. Who said I have a problem, you made a claim which was wrong again, I responded with the facts
  7. They will obviously be in daily travelling distance, that's what you do when you choose a school. Banbury is on the outskirts of Oxfordshire. Why is the school finding it difficult to find alternative placements for the children?
  8. No, he's making it more exclusive to the rich only, more expensive now
  9. So how many in traveling distance of Banbury? Oxfordshire is a large place and transport in the rural areas is not good, I lived there for years and managed schools there. What is there admission criteria and what is their availability mid term.
  10. yea quite a few like that because of the budget, that's why they are suing the government, over 1000 of them
  11. What excellent state schools are within travelling distance of Corrdus in Banbury, what is their admission criteria? Have you read the reports on the excellence? Do they have placements available mid term like this?
  12. You claimed I was lying, you claimed none of the links provided information on the wealth of people attending private schools. You are wrong.
  13. Really? "For many of these families, a move to the private sector meant life changing financial decisions and sacrifices, with families forgoing holidays, cutting down on life essentials, taking out loans, stopping pension contributions or even remortgaging. Many have been supported by grandparents. These are not families striving for luxury or unfair advantage but families striving for a relative normality and a chance to give their children adequate education that will allow them to be independent in the future. "
  14. I am sure there are some rich parents, but certainly not the majority, those are facts, you can laugh at them as much as you like.
  15. If they were rich they could afford the new 20% VAT tax, that's what this is all about, they are not rich, have you even read the OP yet?
  16. Well yes, obviously the gov should do a better job and the specialist lawyers taking the action disagree with you as do 1000's of schools and parents
  17. If there is no alternative suitable education being provided by the state but there is private. No you obviously did not read the link. Perhaps you need some education on this, here's another. What will VAT on private education mean for children with SEND Driven to desperation and failed by the system, many parents of SEND children have turned to the private sector where they often saw their children’s attainment and mental health improve dramatically. The announced plans to add 20% VAT on all private education is a massive blow, pushing many already strained families over the edge and pushing many children with SEND back to the already struggling state sector. https://www.senschoolsguide.com/post/what-will-vat-on-private-education-mean-for-children-with-send
  18. It proves everything, you stated "A human rights issue to attend private school eh ?" It is, its going to court on that basis with over 1000 schools on the action. You obviously did not read the link as to why......
  19. Word salad to deflect from your dishonesty on what the head said. She is nopt saying they were struggling before this Julie Lodrick, Headmistress of Tudor Hall School, said: “We are reviewing the future of Carrdus School following the government’s decisions to introduce VAT on parents’ school fees mid-way through the school year, remove charitable business rates relief and increase employers’ national insurance contributions. "This combination has put both huge pressure on the school’s finances and our families with a number of parents giving notice to withdraw their child from the school.
  20. I don’t make statements on what constitutes the basis of other people’s posts. Really? That was another member responding to your misinformation post, do you want a link? The head of the school does not back your claims that it was on the ropes before.
  21. A human rights issue to attend private school eh ? Yes. The action will be brought around Article 14, the prohibition of discrimination, and Article 2 of the First Protocol, the right to education. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98d3xr0290o
  22. That comment was based on your misinformation and a direct response to your post and your further unsubstantiated claim that the back was at breaking point proves that you have no boundaries as to how far you spread false information
  23. Yes Chomper: “We are reviewing the future of Carrdus School following the government’s decisions to introduce VAT on parents’ school fees mid-way through the school year, remove charitable business rates relief and increase employers’ national insurance contributions. “This combination has put both huge pressure on the school’s finances and our families with a number of parents giving notice to withdraw their child from the school. Another parent said: “We need to fight; this is a school that has been around hundreds of years collapsing due to Labour’s changes.”
  24. Falling because of the Labour budget...................jeez Again you are spreading slurs about the management of the school. Have you bothered to read the latest inspection report?
