  1. You believe you can’t be identified if you don’t use your real name?
  2. Nevertheless, I did answer the question you asked.
  3. The law defines the difference, the courts decides if the law has been broken.
  4. Likewise, how can anyone complain about the police visiting her without knowledge of the actual facts relating to her alleged online posts.
  5. Oddly the person who is said to be the subject of this police visit is not named, so there no way of checking the veracity of the claims. The Telegraph really is becoming a comic.
  6. No because clearly distance to school is something that can be dealt with.
  7. I know a family who’s children travel from Didcot to Reading and Didcot to Henley for (state) school. I suggest you ask the school.
  8. I’m sure that makes some kind of set to you. School doesn’t make anyone clever or stupid.
  9. So you do have a problem with privilege being reserved for the rich, it’s just where the line is drawn that bothers you.
  10. Why in travelling distance from Banbury? Are all the children attending the Corrdus School from Banbury? I would be surprised if that were the case.
  11. Here you go: https://snobe.co.uk/best-state-schools/oxfordshire
  12. Probably not a good idea to pick one on the ropes.
  13. The Corrdus school is situated in Oxfordshire, a county blessed with many excellent state schools. The choice is very clearly not about a lack of excellent schools, it’s about buying privilege.
  14. Brian, I hate to break it to you but referring to someone else’s post is not the same thing as making a statement on the basis of that post.
  15. I don’t make statements on what constitutes the basis of other people’s posts. Again you resort to allegations of spreading false information, and yet I have provided quotes from the school head confirming that enrollment had already fallen below a sustainable level and has now fallen further below the sustainable level. You really should wind in your habit of accusing me of dishonesty when I have backed my statements with those of the head of school.
  16. Yes as someone else says, the straw that broke the camel’s back, but clearly the back was already at breaking point. I think the school has been around about 67 years.
  17. No brian. Here’s the head’s statement again: “The combination of VAT across both schools, further compounded by the increase in employers’ National Insurance contributions, and the Carrdus pupil roll falling further below a sustainable number, means that Tudor Hall is no longer able to make the substantial financial commitment to Carrdus School that is required.” Contributing factors are: VAT Increase in NI AND Pupil numbers falling further below a sustainable number. Student numbers already below sustainable numbers and falling further. This on top of the Head’s other statement from the OP “she stated. This timing has put many private schools under intense financial strain, particularly those with already declining enrollment rates.” Very clearly the school was already struggling.
  18. Again, Brian I have expressed my opinion backed by the head of the schools statement that ”the Carrdus pupil roll falling further below a sustainable number” Now you might disagree with my reading of the school head’s statement, but you have no reason to resort to allegations of dishonesty.
