Just wanted to mention after hearing Ivydale received a Good Ofsted, our school is supposed to be so good so why did we receive Satisfactory and also we are low on the league tables. Goose Green are doing really well, Bellenden have really improved. What is St John's doing other than always trying to raise money, they built a garden in the summer, which was hardly used, couldn't those funds go to recruiting extra support staff for the under achieving children.

Was wondering if any other parents of St Johns agree.

It's the PTFA that raise money. The school has a seperate budget for hiring staff. You really should talk to Mrs Alexander/one of the governers if you feel strongly about this. The money the PTFA raises contributes over 20% extra to the schools budgets for the extras they can't afford - subsidising school trips, buying new laptops and cameras, Christmas shows, leavers presents and a whole host of other things. Without the money raised the school would be a much different place.

      I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.

      I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.

      I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.

      Interesting discussion point @Moovart, should they wait till the next election or should it trigger an immediate by-election so the post is not left empty ?  Your concept is logical and may have the added effect of swaps, lke the Premier league, only happening in a defined transfer window just before each election.
