	R v ENGLISH SCHOOLS FOUNDATION
		From the perspective of the parents, the purpose of the first meeting was to convince the school and the ESF to review their decision to expel their son.
		In my view, while I accept that the school and the ESF were acting at all times in good faith, this failure on their part constitutes a material breach of the rules of natural justice which may have materially prejudiced their son.
		In the present case, the school and the ESF came to a reasoned decision, based on a long history, that, in the interests of all the other pupils at the school and at other ESF schools, R must be expelled.

		ESF's schools are favoured by the city's rich expatriates.
		But the colonial-era schools -- which despite an annual 30 million US dollar handout from taxpayers still charges around 1,000 dollars a month per child -- were embroiled in management and financial crises for much of the year.
		A subsequent value-for-money audit found school staff were overpaid and that the schools' finances were in a mess.

	Simon World :: The ESF
		The ESF has pleaded that it is a special case and has listed its reasons why it should continue to receive the subvention when its competition, the other international schools, do not receive a penny.
		This is because the ESF differs from international schools in a few ways, which include historical reasons, a special "Hong Kong context" in the curriculum, a non-selective approach, catering to students of all abilities and support for the Government school system.
		ESF schools are part of the community in a way which does make them more than just international schools.

		ESF chief executive Heather Du Quesnay, who appeared at the door to greet protesters individually, said that while the letter was "well-expressed," it contained little detail as to what specific changes should be made to the pay cut proposal.
		Earlier this month, the ESF's executive body, which runs the foundation, proposed a series of changes to the remuneration package for teachers with salaries cut by 5 percent, incentive allowances by 50 percent and gratuities by 5 percent - meaning overall staff remuneration expenditure will be reduced by 10 percent.
		But according to Harniess, the report figures for ESF salaries were skewed by a small percentage of teachers who continue to enjoy extravagant expatriate packages granted before 1998.

	BBC - Action Network - - A1181792 - The schools system in England
		Primary schools are divided into the infants (five to seven) and the juniors (seven to 11).
		Some schools admit these children into 'Reception' classes all at once at the start of the academic year (meaning the youngest ones might have only just turned four!) while other schools have staggered intakes, with the older pupils starting school in September and the younger starting in January.
		Although the government acknowledges the equal legal status of education at home with school education, there is a considerable reluctance to provide parents with full information about this option, which is unfortunate since for many children it offers a very favourable option in comparison with the school provision available locally through the national schools.
