As I have said before I agree with the comments about transparency. If you want people within St James and the school to support your cause, which I do understand and sympathise with may be you could be a bit less agressive. I thought I had made quite a lot of salient and reasonable points. When I c...

Apologies, I didn't answer the question on Mental Health. There are enormous pressures on teenagers today and I have found that pupils from broken homes particularly, often suffer enormously in terms of self-confidence. There is not a school in the country where pupils, particularly girls, do not su...

AntonR, Please don't patronise me. I only studied the Laws of Manu twice in the last 11 years of being in the SES, and that was to laugh at it. Just because a text is studied in the SES, does not mean that all the members believe every word of it. Jeez, you've got to be reasonable. As to the cast sy...

To M Gormez, I don't hop or fly, I do just practice mantra meditation. I don't claim it brings about world peace, but I do find it personally helpful. I find it brings me peace, calm and happiness, destresses me and keeps me physically healthy. I don't think I'm any more bonkers than the next person...

Stanton, you are right, I think there has been a gradual chenge over time. I think people are much more reasonable, teachers are properly trained and therefore able to handle children properly, and that atmosphere is more palpably loving. I would absolutely refuse to teach in a school where pupils w...

I'm afraid I had to wite something due to severe alarm at reading what has been written here. I actually cannot believe what is being said. As a teacher in the senior girls school everyday I am surrounded by quite obviously happy junior school and senior school children. On Saturday I attended the O...

Hello, teacher 100 here again. I have been watching the last posts and am really delighted to see what the present and recent past pupils have to say. It really is true. The school is great and does encourage pupils to do whatever they want to do and fully supports them. As a teacher, here I am, a w...

I have decided to join the discussion as I find the content of this website very distressing for two reasons. Firstly, I have enormous sympathy with the experiences of people who have contributed to the website and I find the accounts very distressing in some cases. I do understand that terrible mis...
