Curmudgeon - I appreciate your point about not assuming what you'd choose but as far as I am concerned, its got absolutly nothing to do with the academic provision of a school - its about the social skills and environment. I think I'd rather my kid went to a slightly worse school academically providing it was co-ed.

That's just statistics though isn't it Alice? I thought I was in favour of co-ed education until my daughter went to an all girls secondary. Now I realise that there are great advantages to being in an all female environment for her, and it would be sexist of me to think that there might not be similar advantages for boys in boys schools. For a start they aren't constantly reminded that they don't do as well as the girls!

From http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/shared/get-file.ashx?id=493&itemtype=document which is based on cohorts born in 1958 and 1970


conclusions can be summarised as follows:

? Girls at single-sex schools were substantially more likely than their co- educated peers to achieve a high level of examination success at age 16, but boys were neither significantly advantaged nor disadvantaged in terms of overall examination attainment by attending single-sex schools.

? There was no significant impact of single-sex schooling on the level of later educational attainments for either sex.

? Single-sex schools were associated with attainment in gender atypical subject areas for both boys and girls.

      Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
