....for pupils whose parents are behind with school dinner money. Children at a school in North London will be punished for late payments on school meals, by enforcing lunchtime detentions and restricted food, according to a letter from the headteacher.
The new rules have been imposed at Michaela Community School in North London, by 'Superhead' Katharine Birbalsingh - who is known for her speech at a Tory party conference in 2010 where she claimed that education is 'broken'. www.goodtoknow.co.uk/family/546995/school-isolation-late-dinner-payment-letterOutrageous that the children,through no fault of their own, will be ostracised in this way. |

At our school (Sec. Mod. in Gainsborough in the 70s) children with free school meals had a separate queue to get into dinner. I'm pretty sure none of us kids made any distinction though.
Also, the school (pretending to be a Public school like in those books) had separate house units, that you were supposed to feel some kind of loyalty to, all named after castles - Conway, Warwick etc. The remedial house was Antrim. That surely can't have been deliberate, can it?

That surely can't have been deliberate, can it? I think that free school meal segregation was shocking discrimination I remember when I was Chair of the school PTA, an organisation that under my stewardship raised may thousands of pounds for the school, we were asked to fund school trips for some pupils from very disadvantaged families This produced a very hostile reaction from some teachers on the committee, and some parents. I'm afraid the Chair lost it's impartiality, and the request was approved
