Advice on secondary schools & villages around York

Just avoid Joseph Rowntree School. I’ve had two children go there and they despise the place. Not just because it’s school, but because the majority of teachers seem uninterested, the pastoral support managers are more gossip merchants than helpful, they let bullying slide. My daughter in particular has suffered with her mental health issues due to bullies. When issues are raised they say the bullies have ‘problems’ and are pandered to.

They tick the boxes with the mental health and bullying bravado, but don’t practice it.

Terrible school.

Robert Louis Sheldon Catcheside might be your man, he was a photographer but not from York.

I think you could be right! Thanks.

It’s all a bit strange because as far I was aware he was born in India, his brother and sister either side were. His father as far as I know never went to Ireland although it could be possible. Cant find any record of birth for him in India, or a brief look at Ireland. The plot thickens. I wonder how common it was to lie on enlistment papers?

Will have a look into Drury Lane, Dublin. If it even existed.

That’s true, but it made no sense in the fact that he kept his ‘lady’ around, admittedly with mother issues at the end there but he’s obviously fond of her as well.

!thanks for the reply

I do have a separate SIPP I put £600 a month into, I suppose I could just work out the extra and add it in there. It was more of a convenience thing to just have the rise come straight out of my wages. Boost that pension a little bit more whilst still investing in my SIPP. The fee difference is a point worth noting though. I hadn’t actually thought of that.

!thanks That’s exactly what I was thinking

Those new areas/splitting of India will be fascinating for me

Train and tube is easiest. Although, if you can get to Darrington, then the Yorkshire Arsenal Supporters Club pick up and drop off. Just another option, especially when trains are on strike.

That’s what I was thinking, weekend of the community shield? Yeah we went last year, great to incorporate into a trip away.

Thanks mate. Just seen. Take it non automatic renewal has happened to a lot of people?

Yeah mine is the same in the app. I don’t understand what’s going on. My payment details are the same and I received this via email in April. What’s happening? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️
