Hi Magpiemonkey,


Sorry for late reply and thanks for the insight into the school. I went and had a look at the school, it really is an outstanding school. It does have a challenging job, however, I was very impressed with the head teacher and other key staff members, the children are clearly very happy and have such a colourful environment to learn in. I would recommend anybody going to the school.


Its just to far away for us. I can only sing it's praises, if it was near dulwich I'd been sending my child there with the utmost confidence. The head teacher really is inspiring !.


Fingers crossed we do get something more local.

Just wanted to say - , if anybody has been offered John Donne, they should go and have a look with an open mind! I had a visit today and was very impressed! The head teacher and staff are inspiring! The classrooms are bright, full off colour, pictures, all kinds of visual aids! I was very impressed, - do go with an open mind, if you get chance to speak to the head teacher you will be impressed and inspired! They are totally committed to the school and children, I think they are doing a fantastic job.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
