    Well done American public - OJ Simpson

    It's a shame it took all that public outcry, they should have had the good sense and the moral compass to realise what a dreadful idea it was in the first place.

    Not worried, well I suppose I am. What parent doesn't want the best for their children? We are fortunate to be able to send him to schools that are better (pass rate, pastorally, extra curricular, socially yada yada) than that local one.

    My children definitely won't go to our local schools, I am thankful that we are able to send them to a better school albeit a fair trek away. We've got the rest of this school year and the whole of the next to make our mind up for him, his name is registered at plenty of schools and after...

    I've been doing nothing but reading school reports, OFSTED, national averages and such. My son is getting to grammar school age and we aren't sure what we'll do with him yet. I would like for him to stay at his current school. Our local secondary school has a 72% pass rate A*-C at GCSE which is...
