I've never heard of this school. It seems there is no child abuse here. The full ofsted report in the URL below. Its interesting that the checksheet method of study appears to have been evaluated by Ofsted and is certainly not castigated per se. Having known several children who graduated from Greenfields, a fee paying school nearby run on scientological
study tech principles, a disadvantage is that generating enthusiasm in subjects is a very weak point which seems to be mentioned in the report.
I havn't found any mention of fees but I'd imagine that
there are fees. Seems to be for the children of local scientologists.

I've always given you the benefit of the doubt, Terril, despite your obvious Scientology loyalties, but your un-informed reply to my post is dreadful!
To carry the CofS PR line, unfiltered by common sense or even accurate observation, puts you in a role of child exploitation condoner, in my opinion. To promote Scientology study tech blatently like you have just done and to try to use the OFSTED report to support your ridiculous claims is disgraceful! It gives the impression that the FreeZone has been lurking on these good-news threads waiting for the chance to hit back with cult PR.
Shame on you Terril! We are trying to
save kids here who have been given no choice about their cult indoctrination! I say again, shame on you! These
innocent children have been placed outside the educaation system so that they will provide new fodder for the cult!
I added the URL to the OFSTED report onto my message, this evening, because I realised I'd forgotten to do it.
To clarify your wrong assumption - Walsh Manor School is a
Sea Org school where the SO is berthed. And as we all know the SO education is superlative and a shining testimony to LRH's wonderful tech! Not!
If you read the report you will see some of the obvious cult propaganda has been copied by the inspector into his report. Nevertheless the obvious outnesses that I listed clearly show the inadequacy of the school and the exploitation potential the school's system has. We don't even have a breakdown of school hours vs child labour hours.
Hells teeth they don't even do a Criminal Records check on the staff, which every respectable, caring school in the UK does these days!
From the language situation of the children, it is fair to assume that the CofS is recruiting immigrants (legal or illegal) into the SO together with their children.
Shame on you Terril for tipping-toeing in here with your cult propaganda!
I'll see you at the London picket, if you are there, and will have this out with you. You need to re-evaluate your priorities! We are trying to
save kids from the cult here! Are you with us or against us?
Here again are some of the key points of abuse from the report so that Terril's intervention doesn't derail the thread.
Anyone got any info about Walsh Manor School that we can add to the investigation into this child exploitation? Come on UK exes, these kids
need our help!
