Passes urgent note to Ms Polly Dorner:


"Never buy any other wedding magazine - only Martha Stewart Weddings from WH Smith in Victoria - you will see why when you buy it, please????"


Smiles to self as remembers organising great roller coaster of a wedding extravaganza in only six months.


Sobers up suddenly at thought of organising a fabulous party...

*comes in to relax after being annoyed by the forum falling over*

*walks behind folded japanese screen, walks out wearing orange double-breasted terrycloth bathrobe similar to the one Steve McQueen was wearing in The Thomas Crown Affair on TV last night*

*picks up a glass of Polly's wine, nods in appreciation and slides into filled hot tub with added relaxing bath oils*

Steps out from behind folded Japanese screen wearing white Calvin Klein Bikini and red nail polish.


Removes large white rimmed Stella McCartney sunglasses and places on card table next to chums.


Runs fingers through long glossy (currently dark and certainly never a hint of red) hair.


Smiles and accepts cold glass of iced water from Ana the au pair, slides into hot tub in demure manner.


Sighs and breaths aroma of relaxing bath oils deeply.

*emerges from a point in time-space with a pop and resumes customary bodily proportions*

*discovers own right hand to be occupied by something*

*invesigates further and is relieved to find it is a chilled glass of white wine*

*investigates further*

*finds said investigation pleasant and relaxing*

*continues*

*hears the schoolboy-like giggling in the background and guesses it's Keef sniggering about DM entering the hottub in her bikini*

*smiles as he remembers his sunglasses are really dark and allows eyes to look where ever they want without being caught*

*smiles to DM and hands her a glass of Polly's finest whilst half expecting Keef to dive-bomb into the tub*

Wafts into lounge, realises that the pads from new Cleo facial exercising machine are still stuck to face, rushes behind Japanese screen.


Decides as no-one seems to be here yet, to plug in and give self a further 'lift'.


Hopes no-one is curious of buzzing sound behind screen.

    • Sorry, not having a dig at Southwark for that.   I'm just shocked that next door they've chosen to abandon such an institutional community / family event so they can keep pumping out commercial stuff instead.   I suppose the same could happen here next although we don't really have any longstanding family events like that one.
    • No doubt the schools in Harrogate are being discussed on the East Harrogate Forum or whatever. Dulwich College is being discussed because it's local. Saying "ooh, there were loads of schools mentioned" is a bit dismissive. It was Dulwich College that referred sex abuse allegations about pupils to the police and Dulwich College that used the spectre of the police to suppress dissent. 🤔
    • Hi, I was just wondering what experiences any of you have had in relation to an Independent Panel review relating to the Permanent Exclusion of a SEN child. 1. General experience Any experiences, positive or negative, in general? 2. Clerks Associates UK Any experience of this entity acting as an "independent clerk" to an Independent Review Panel in a matter involving a Permanent Exclusion of a SEN pupil, also involving discrimination under the Equality Act 2010. There is limited publicly available information with regards to this "independent clerk"; however, I can see from their Annual Report & Accounts at Companies House that they are a small, privately owned organisation.   I am very concerned that there is a clear and material risk that they are highly dependent for their revenues and cash flow from the business that they receive from the school and its parent Trust (which has 9 schools in total under its management) who have appointed them. I also note that the Trust has a material employee relations dispute with their staff over underpayment of maternity pay whilst materially increasing the salaries of the highest paid Trust executives and other highly paid staff (presumably the Head Teachers). https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/community/teachers-at-six-charter-schools-walk-out-in-first-of-four-strike-days-planned-for-this-month/ Given the current situation, we have no choice but to engage in this process of an Independent Panel Review; however, we are concerned as to various elements including this one which is a key role in providing independence. 3. Independent SEN expert We have the right to an independent SEN expert to review the matter and provide their opinion to the Independent Review Panel. The concept is that this person is supposedly acting "independently" and also solely in respect of the SEN elements of the matter. We do not however know who this person is, their experience or level of independence. The last information that I can find in the public domain about the effectiveness of an Independent SEN expert is a UK govt report from 2014 which portrays a very mixed experience for parents. Hence, we are seeking to understand if anyone has any more recent experience of an Independent SEN expert in relation to an Independent Panel Review. Many thanks for any thoughts that you have based on your experience. For reasons of confidentiality, it is perhaps better to send any replies to me directly. Many thanks
