Le Coq Chicken Shop for grown-ups? Perhaps. It’s £17 for two courses, and the food is pretty good. We ate calcots with Chinese seaweed to start, followed by Rotisserie Sutton Hoo Chicken with winter coleslaw and rice. The poultry comes from Kennel Farm in Sutton Hoo, where there are just 213 chickens per hectare. Just a couple of choices to start and for dessert, and only one main, but it changes weekly. St Paul’s Road N5 Blanchette Right opposite one of our favourite Soho tapas bars, Copita, head to this new bistro for Gallic sharing plates – things like top: the Vine steamed mussels, braised lamb shoulder with anchovy and right: kitchen at Q Grill onglet with snails en persillade. Interior is classy: candelabra, bottom left: tiling and exposed brick, with stylish counter that overlooks Blanchette the action. Nice charcuterie, homemade terrines, and oysters bottom right: too – and, of course, French wines. 9 D’Arblay St W1 Le Coq The Vine New management is giving this long-established K-Town favourite a real boost. From the reinvigorated menu we’ve enjoyed Cornish mackerel with spiced puy lentils and tarragon cream and chargrilled squid with cumin and garlic. But on a recent blissfully hot Sunday lunchtime (when the mood was almost Ibizan on the dining terrace), we raved about a stunning starter of kohlrabi, chilli, coriander and sesame, a deeply fl avoursome corned beef hash and poached egg – and best of all, whole sole with cockles and garlic dumplings. A tad less impressive, perhaps unsurprisingly, was a weekday £7 lunch special. 86 Highgate Road Q Grill From the people behind Upper Street’s Fish & Chip Shop, this glam joint with “rustic” interior is vying to be the area’s new Pizza East. And they’ve poached the head chef of Hix, Phil Eagle, who’ll be dishing up raw, grilled and smoked things aplenty, from scallop ceviche to pecan wood-roasted chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, ribs and hotdogs. We particularly heart the tender NY strip steak.

    Our ref: MGLA260719-8697 Date: 22 August 2018 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the GLA received on 26 June 2019. Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.

  • Pupils Missing out on Education Low Aspirations, Little Access, Limited Achievement
    Pupils missing out on education Low aspirations, little access, limited achievement This report examines the experiences of children and young people who are not in full-time education at school. Inspectors visited 15 local authorities and 37 schools and services, undertook 97 case studies of children and young people, and interviewed leaders in a further 41 secondary schools. Inspectors found poor quality and insufficient provision for many of these young people as well as incomplete information about it at a local level. The report draws together these findings and also illustrates some of the effective practice seen. Age group: 5 to 16 Published: November 2013 Reference no: 130048 The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) regulates and inspects to achieve excellence in the care of children and young people, and in education and skills for learners of all ages. It regulates and inspects childcare and children’s social care, and inspects the Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service (Cafcass), schools, colleges, initial teacher training, work-based learning and skills training, adult and community learning, and education and training in prisons and other secure establishments. It assesses council children’s services, and inspects services for looked after children, safeguarding and child protection.

My name is Bernadette Biggs, my role at Torriano School is Community Liaison Officer. My predecessor, Maria Lewis is now the school Business manager. I will be available in school to provide advice and support with the application process. If you would like assistance in completing the application or have any questions regarding this transition process, please book an appointment to meet with me. I am situated in the gatehouse and I work part-time on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The online application is now available to access online at www.eadmissions.org.uk. This is the quickest and easiest method of completing the application. You will be required to create a login account, which you can then easily access to check and change your application at any point until the closing date. You can name up to six schools, which should be listed in preference order, on your application. You are strongly advised to use all six preferences to increase your chance of your child being offered a school of their choice. If only one school is listed, it does not increase your chances of being offered a place at that school. All applications must be completed by the 31st October 2018. If you are applying for a place at Camden School for Girls, please note you must also register for the banding assessment test by noon on the 18th September.
