Following AuraCaught suffering a fit and some one called Anna/Anya who was a stranger to AuroCaught coming to help in their hour of need I think we should have a section whereby we can thank those we don't know who've helped us whether it was catching us up to give you the ?50 you'd left in the cashpoint to saving your life. Give a description of your Knight/Princess in shining armour and your thanks.

Actually Aura, stick around you'll like BBW. I do.

But the above should read along the lines of him being a foul mouthed gobshite genius who spends most of the time prone and boasts about it.


And I thank your for it BBW.

Thanks to all the guys buried/cremated in Golders Green in their thousands that I visited yesterday.


So many of their lives seemed significant and memorable and re-empthasised the need to enjoy every remaining minute of our own existence.


Thanks to all the wonderful people and places I saw in Hampstead Garden Suburb yesterday who showed me how relaxing life can be, for some. (their money might just have something to do with that).

Very impressive.


Thanks to all the driven folks I saw all over Hampstead Heath and thanks to all the other people I observed in Hampstead, itself, who demonstrated that many DO live in a "parellel universe" to the lives led by the majority of others.

No-one seemed to have a care in the World.


Thanks to Golders Greenfor prooving what a vibrant and energising place London can be.


Thanks to the Lord for providing the sunshine and our good health to enjoy all of the above.

I'd like to say a massive thanks to all the seated commuters who assiduously avoided my eye as I wobbled about on my crutches on the train this morning.


And to the kind woman who pushed past me to get into the first class carriage without so much as an "excuse me", nearly knocking me over with the door on her way, a million thanks.


Genuine thanks though to a nice man at the station at the other end who offered to help me up the stairs. Don't know what that might have entailed (slinging me over his shoulder maybe?) but it was very sweet and cheered me up immensely.


And thanks also to the lovely woman in Camden All Saints who tried in vain to find me a wide legged trouser / full length dress. But no thanks to Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl - I feel lied to - fashion on crutches is hard.

    • They are very good
    • Having  current and relevant experience of both Charter North and Charter East with regards to their conduct towards SEN pupils and their families, I would say that their conduct and behaviour is wholly lacking in understanding as well as making no effort to make reasonable adjustments for the SEN pupil as legally required under Equality Act 2010. Furthermore, I believe that their behaviour is wholly illegal. According to data from Ambitious About Autism, unfortunately that is not uncommon We have separately requested legal advice as to whether or not the specific conduct of the school and certain teachers constitutes a criminal offence under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 or other legislation. These links have some very good materials to assist parents: https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/understanding-autism/education/exclusions-know-your-rights https://www.ipsea.org.uk https://sossen.org.uk   Also, this link specifically for girls with autism as this tends to be diagnosed at a much later stage than boys and requires different support and reasonable adjustments that the neither of the policies nor behaviours of Charter East or Charter North reflect. https://autisticgirlsnetwork.org   Helen Hayes MP for Dulwich & West Norwood and whose constituency includes Charter North is Chair of the Education Committee at the Houses of Parliament They published this report on the SEND crisis on 18 Sept 2025 https://committees.parliament.uk/work/8684/solving-the-send-crisis/   Ellie Reeves (Rachel Reeves’ sister and formerly Chair of the Labour Party) is the MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich - the constituency under which Charter East falls I would urge any parents who are concerned about their children, whether SEN or not, who attend Charter North or Charter East to write to your MP canvassing their support and requesting that they write to their respective school on this subject, referencing this report of the Education Committee and the failures of Charter East and Charter North with regards to SEN, their illegal behaviour and soliciting a plan of action from them to immediately stop such behaviour and support SEN pupils with reasonable adjustments as required under the Equality Act 2010. Even if your child is not SEN, the school implementing the correct and legally required procedures materially improves the school environment for all pupils, teachers and non-teaching staff. Often the reasonable adjustments can actually be relatively minor but have a very material benefit. In our experience, there have been one or two teachers who have shown this with very positive results; however, this is the opposite of the institutional approach of both schools which is wholly negative, unsupportive and often illegal. In addition to EHCPs, there is also huge pressure at CAMHS and insufficient resource to support all cases and meet demand.  Even if families and their child are lucky to get access to it, there remains very long wait lists to access treatment.  The same is true in the private sector. A proactive and practical, common sense approach to SEN in this manner by Charter North and Charter East would also help to reduce pressure on CAMHS The latest tragedy last week at Charter North means that this is more pressing than ever.    
    • Thought I'd add a comment as sadly there are now too many primary schools for the number of children in this area... St Anthony's is a wonderful school and my 2 sons were extremely happy throughout the time they were there. They have some open days for reception and  nursery in Nov I believe and welcome children and families of all faiths and backgrounds. It has lovely staff and I cannot recommend it more highly!
    • Anyone has lavender buds they don’t want/that I could harvest/cut and use? Ideally in Peckham/ED goose green area.  Thanks in advance!
