Newsnight Film
I made a short film for Newsnight about the efforts of our parent group to set up a new state secondary school in West London that was broadcast tonight. You can see it here http://bit.ly/51bZ3k

They only have the taster on newsnight website. Is it possible for you to put it on your website? Many people need to see it.

Never did. The feeling of disappointment and anger started my journey as a homeschooler, and a determination not to let my kids down has carried them into college, and into their chosen careers. Thank goodness I never listened when people told me that parents are not qualified to teach. There are many different ways and methods to teach our children, and it should not be treated as a personal attack on state schools if someone chooses to do it another way. Doing things a different way takes people out of their comfort zone, and forces them to reassess the path they have chosen. But it doesn’t make anyone else’s way right or wrong. It just gives our children another option. Good Luck in all your endeavors
