The mere fact that these parents feel the need to take this route is testament to the sad and sorry state of affairs regarding education in this country. particularily within your inner city areas.

Why should parents fall on 2nd best options for their children? Why should your son or daughters first year of their education be over shadowed by funding issues? Issues regarding a lack of space in local schools to provide only but the best form of education for children?

Over subscribed schooling....we don't live in a 3rd world country. We shouldn't be forced to accept 2nd best neither.

unfortunately, this initiative is testament to the way forward in education. The organisers behind this venture, if it proves successful will be an icon to other areas of the UK facing exactly the same problems.

If this venture is successful, the people that oppose it now will be the first to brag about it, putting the borough of Lewisham as a shining example to other failing boroughs.
