I just wanted to give you all an update on the above – the work on the road is progressing well, however unfortunately it is not likely to be completed by next Monday, 13th April as we had hoped. Therefore it is with regret that access through the Estate remains withdrawn until the following Monday, 20th April by which time we will have completed the works and the road will be safe to use once more.

This is to let you know that access through the Estate will be totally CLOSED to all traffic from next Monday, 30 March until Monday, 13 April. There will be no access whatsoever during this time. We have planned the work to coincide with Easter and the school holidays thereby hopefully causing minimum disruption. Read more

In Sir Ken Robinson’s interview for the first of BBC Radio 4’s The Educators series, he lamented that schools are inadvertently crushing creativity with a narrow curriculum which favours a ‘particular type of intelligence’ and league tables which can be likened to the Eurovision Song Contest of education. Who better to talk about creativity? Sir Ken’s book ‘Out of Our Minds’ is an inspiring read about learning to be creative and his TED Talks receive more hits on YouTube than Bill Gates’ or Bono’s.

I (along with a load of other people no doubt) heard a really loud explosion followed by jet plane noises in the sky this morning. I looked at my watch and it said 11.33 am. I guessed the explosion might be related to the jet plane. I just checked on the internet and found this explanation. Looks like we are still living in the 9-11 era.
Haslingfield was recently lucky enough to be successful in applying for one of 60 Jubilee Diamond Trees being donated by the Tree Council to communities around the UK to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Read more
