Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Dr Christine E. Moore
Madam: The smiling faces of Ruislip Gardens Primary School pupils ("Oddball marriage trying to put kids first", 30 March) contrasted with the anxious faces of their parents at last autumn's annual parents' meeting.The dismay felt by Ruislip Gardens parents at finding their children's secondary education might suffer as a result of an accident of geography deserves to be recorded. It is hardly their fault if they live in a gaping hole between the catchment areas of their local secondary schools.
The new funds that the Funding Agency for Schools is giving to schools in Hillingdon may improve matters, but it is still likely some pupils will find themselves living outside the catchment areas of all the nearest schools.
Yours faithfully,
CHRISTINE E MOORE
Chairman of Governors
Ruislip Gardens Primary School
