London is becoming a city without children
SueFinanceManager posted a topic in Teaching and Learning
HI Just reading this article London is becoming a city without children At a glance: The birth rate in London has fallen by 17% in nine years Families are being squeezed out as house prices and rent become unaffordable for many As a result schools are closing in their droves as they struggle to fill classrooms The government says it is up to local authorities "to balance the supply and demand of school places" Are any of you based in London and seeing your numbers falling? It must be very worrying for all concerned, both the staff but also the families that wish to remain at a school under the threat of closure. Are you in a nursery setting that is also facing closure due to lack of numbers? Would love to hear your thoughts on the subject if you are experiencing a drop in numbers, not just in London. Sue -

Crusty bread/crackers with a meat & cheese platter and grapes is a winner with most people especially with a bit of chutney / hummus / sundried tomatoes / olives Easily transported too lol Quiche sounds good ð

Happy Friday all I genuinely do not know where the weeks go. I know they say as you get older time goes quicker but at the current rate I must be about 105 lol Hope the sun is shining where you are and you can all get out for some fresh air (been very fresh here in Sussex....brrrr) over the weekend.

Hi Mundia How wonderful to hear from you....I too am still here starting as a member of the forum 2003 and then from 2007 working part-time in the afternoons with Steve trying to grow the forum. I remember the events you recall Mundia with quizzes etc. One of my favourite things was the FSF bunny Rosie that used to get posted from setting to setting until someone lost her or maybe kidnapped her lol but she did go missing never to be found again ð The forum has always been a warm and welcoming place and I have only ever really found it a challenge when a small group (you know who you are) start talking about Christmas in September ðĪĢðĪŠð Sue x
