I will always take the high road. If you take something off my wall,

Stop The Closure of Christ Church CE primary school Battersea.

Sometimes we pride ourselves on taking the high road. We teach our kids to be the better person.

But if we don’t do that willingly and joyfully, if we aren’t serving genuinely from our hearts, it shows and the fruit is lacking.

More than 90 English primary schools – many of them in cities and towns – are to close or are at risk of closure because they are more than two-thirds empty, according to Guardian analysis of government data.

Wandsworth council  investing around £20m on expanding school provision for children in Wandsworth with some of the most challenging disabilities and special education needs  in the independent sector,

Paddock is currently operating at full capacity and despite growing numbers of children who need its specialist care and support, it has no vacancies and no available space to expand.

A shortage of local state school provision for SEND pupils means that the borough spends £12m a year funding places in the independent sector, and local school leaders have long argued that this money would be better invested in improving and expanding local state school provision.

We encourage children to grow spiritually for this allows children to have a meaning and purpose to life, thus enabling them to love one another, themselves and God.

Funding for these SEND improvements and expansion in places comes from a £20m Department for Education grant which is available to councils to create new places and/or improve provision at existing schools for pupils with SEND.

Cabinet Member for Schools Kate Stock has highlighted the growing pressure to provide additional places for some of the borough’s most vulnerable young people.

She said: “There is an absolute and pressing need to provide more SEND places in Wandsworth. The numbers of children with additional needs is growing very rapidly and it is our duty and indeed our ambition to make sure we are able to provide the best standard of care and education for these children, while most importantly, providing these additional school places close to the family and community support networks that are so crucial for these young people’s care and welfare.

I’ve been reading a new book recently called Discerning Idols. And it’s not just talking about tangible things…money, houses, cars, golden calves…The author K.B. Haught talks about the idols of the heart.  The reasons behind why we do the things we do and why we stress about things and try to control things. For instance, the desire for money may not really be that you have made an idol of money…it may really be that you’ve made an idol of feeling secure. So when we are the ones “always having to be the one taking the high road or being the servant,” maybe we actually struggle with that. Maybe we want to be served a little too much. Maybe we have an entitlement issue. Maybe we are a little proud. Whatever it may be, I got a wake up call.

Should younger/future generations sue previous/older generations for the injustice they are causing to the world of the future and younger generations?
