Dear Family Grapevine Readers With prices going up and uncertainty everywhere many of us are tightening our belts. Shopping budgets are being stretched and many families have cut back or economised on household essentials. Retro recipes using leftovers are no longer just a fashionable choice, but a necessity. Some parents even have to skip meals just to make sure their children are eating enough.It’s not easy for many of us but please consider the many thousands of children and young people across London who desperately need some help, they are surviving their childhoods suffering from hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. Some children have had to resort to shoplifting or rummaging through bins for food.Kids Company supports extremely vulnerable children with loving care and practical support. Children come to our London based centres where we serve hot meals in a caring family environment. Kids Company has launched the Plate Pledge appeal to help feed 2000 children each week. 85% of the children who attend Kids Company depend on us for their main meal of the day. It costs just £2 to provide 2 meals for a child in need.Please help us to stop hunger from ruining a child’s life by visiting www.kidscoplatepledge.org

I meet prospective parents all the time and they often talk to me about
the benefits of a ‘girls only’ school environment for their daughter; it is startling when one looks at the figures. All the top ten schools for academic results, nationally, are single sex schools, and the majority are girls’ schools. Girls’ school pupils routinely outperform boys at every age and stage academically and, in Independent Schools, they do so too. Why? Girls in co-educational schools, in my experience, tend to be pigeonholed. They are under pressure to choose ‘subjects for girls’ rather than the subjects that suit them best. That explains why girls’ school pupils are much more likely to study Maths and Sciences at A Level (Biology and Maths are the most popular subjects in my school) and be much more likely to go on to a science based degree than their co-educationally educated counterparts. Of course girls can also excel
in the Arts and Humanities - this year two of our Upper 6th have scholarships offers from the Royal college of Music. And what leads them to such incredible successes? Confidence - in themselves, in their passions and interests and in the future that their schooling is preparing them for. Come along to see what a difference we can make to your daughter. As the only all girls’ school in the locality, we are unique, and we offer that unique opportunity to her. We look forward to meeting you.Please visit our website www.bromleyhigh.gdst.net/gra1 or email [email protected], to find out more about our Junior and Senior School Taster Days and Entrance Tests: (Year 3 Assessment w/c 19th Nov 2012; 4+ assessments Sat 19th Jan 2013 and w/c 21 Jan 2013; 11+ Assessment Sat 26th Jan 2013)

Tutor doctor Bromley and SE London is now a year old and what a wonderful year it has been. During that time we have tutored over 75 students of all ages. Our oldest being 72 and the youngest 31/2 years. Many of our tutees had specific goals –either common entrance/11+ or 13+ exams, GCSE’s or A levels; others wanted general support. Although we are awaiting some results, we have had 100% success with our 11+and 13+. In our higher levels exams, 14 of 15 achieved grades A-C with one student improving from a D in AS to an overall pass of B at A levels. We are proof that 1:1 learning with the tutor in the home really works. Now is the time to start planning for next year and the year after. We are also looking for teachers in all subjects who want to share their expertise and who can help us continue to achieve such fantastic results. Contact me, Joyce Batten, at [email protected] or on 08456 891892 or 07702 547629.

Local dancers perform at Princess Diana’s Charity event All the Arts theatre school were delighted to be selected by the prestigious Diana Awards organisers to perform at the opening & closing ceremony. 15 performers from the theatre school which has branches in Bromley, Bexley & Eltham put on an outstanding performance for celebrity guests which included Esther Ranzem & The Earl Spencer. Ex-Brookside actress Lucy Morgans who runs the school with her sister said ‘We were so honoured to have been chosen to perform at the ceremony. The charity was set up as a lasting legacy to Princess Diana’s belief in the power of young people to change the world. Our group certainly felt on top of the world at being invited along, they worked so hard in our classes to ensure that their performances were top notch and the crowd went mad for them as they performed a musical theatre medley from Hairspray and a Street Dance with a ‘Twilight Theme’.As a theatre school we do everything possible to encourage and inspire our pupils and being invited to events such as the Diana awards re-inforces the importance of this, we can’t wait for our next performance!’ For more information about All the Arts Theatre School visit www.allthearts.co.uk
