Anyone heard about one of the local primary schools having a budgetary shortfall and having to lose some teaching assistants? Not sure if appropriate or fair to mention school by name but some may know which one I am talking about. Perhaps I should approach the Head directly!


On reflection I feel that my post may have been inappropriate. I am feeling guilty and a little irresponsible so I have asked The Administrator to lock this thread so that it can quietly be put to rest.

Actually your right - I dont need to know that much. If need be I'll do my own investigating, keeping the findings to myself of course.

At the end of the day, don't all the schools face the same budgetary restrictions or cuts?? So if there is a budget problem facing one school, surely other schools in the area are?


Another thought - the salary of one TA is probably the same as the yearly tuition at a private school. Think what would happen if all the people who paid to send their kid to a private school put their money into the local schools instead.

off the top of my head, some of the reasons why different schools would have different budget issues


premises (different states of repair)

mix of children (if one school "succeeds" in attracting better students then another school will have a potentially more volatile mix - temperament, aptitude - of students)

salary levels

    • The refurb has made it brighter and smarter with greater emphasis on weights and other exercise. Seems that cardio is restricted to the quarter of the floor area as you enter. This seems fair enough as I rarely saw more than half the cardio equipment being used at any one time. I have been told that some cardio will be on the newly created gallery space overlooking the main gym floor. Free weights area looks bigger and there is a good range of resistance machines offering to exercise most muscle groups. There are some new types such as a squat machine, whereas core machines for abs and back seem to have disappeared. I have been told that some machines have yet to arrive. Overall, it’s a great improvement.  To say it’s still a dump is unfair and untrue.  The alternative would be to traipse over to Beckenham where David Lloyd will charge you the same for two months’s membership as you would pay for a year at DLC.
