A-level student predicted to achieve top grades is escorted from college by police after 'refusing to stop REVISING' - Daily Mail

Barred: Jamie Gagliardi claims he had 'nowhere else to revise' and did not have a computer at home

An A-level student who was 'obsessed with revising' had to be escorted from school by police after ignoring a classroom ban.

Jamie Gagliardi, 18, had been told to stay home from Ifield Community College in Crawley, West Sussex, for one day after interrupting the headteacher during a meeting on Wednesday.

But he went to the college - whose students notched up a 100 per cent A-level pass rate last year - the following morning, claiming he had 'nowhere else to revise' for his psychology A-level on Monday and he did not have a computer at home.

He was asked to leave but began 'causing a nuisance and a disturbance'.

At 8.45am college officials decided that the only option was to call in the police after the teen refused to leave the premises.

The pupil, who is also taking A-level law, English and history, was escorted from the college and his mother was called to pick him up.

Police confirmed that the teenager would not be charged with any offence.

Speaking this week, Jamie said he was given a one-day ban from the college last Wednesday for interrupting the headteacher during a meeting, meaning he was not allowed in the school the following day.

He said: 'I have been punished for wanting to do well.

'I am a hard-working and dedicated student and this could have such an impact on my future.

'The college has overreacted in what is probably the most important week of my school life.

'I have told teachers many times that I do not have a computer at home so would not be able to work at home.'

Bosses at the 1,090-pupil college - rated good by Ofsted in February this year - said the teen is ‘obsessed’ with after-school tuition and the police were called because he was ‘causing a nuisance’ by refusing to leave the premises.

Marilyn Evans, the school’s director of administration, said Jamie was a 'very bright boy', but added: 'He became vociferous and irritated that he couldn't have after-school revision.

'The teacher has already given up her time to give extra revision in half term and during the school day, when she was meant to have free time.

'On Thursday, he was causing a nuisance and a disturbance on the premises.

'He is obsessed with doing after-school revision.'

She added: 'He probably feels that without those extra sessions he won't get the grade he wants, but he will. He is a top student.'

A spokeswoman for Sussex Police confirmed today that officers were called at 8.45am on June 14 to remove a 'disruptive' pupil who was refusing to leave the premises.

He was suspended for interrupting the speech of his Headteacher. If he hasn't learned by the age of 18 to be quiet during speeches, then I fear for his unemployment prospects. Running to the DM for publicity will do him no favours either. Would you give him a job? Another over-entitled brat who thinks he can force professionals to work for nothing. He has the attitude of a preschool child who still thinks the universe revolves around him.

An over reaction calling the police. They could have used their discretion & seen that the boy needed to be in school to use computers. It's very sad that an A student doesn't have access to a computer at home. I wish this boy a good future career.

Mother jailed for killing young daughter eight years after coroner halted inquest when he suspected foul play - Daily Mail

CPS had felt there wasn't enough evidence top prosecute Lesley Dunford
In 2009 East Sussex coroner Alan Craze demanded the case was revisited

By Leon Watson

Lesley Dunford was onvicted of the manslaughter of her three-year-old daughter after an inquest into the 2004 death was dramatically halted by a coroner

A mother has been convicted of killing her young daughter eight years ago after a coroner dramatically halted the tragic tots inquest.

Lesley Dunford, 33, who lives in Exeter, Devon, was imprisoned for seven years at Lewes Crown Court today after being found guilty of manslaughter.

Dunford's daughter Lucy was found dead in February 2004 and after two conflicting post mortems her mother was arrested, however at the time the CPS felt there was not enough evidence to prosecute.

Sentencing yesterday Judge Richard Brown said: 'The jury have convicted you of manslaughter of your three-year-old daughter Lucy.

'It may well be you are the only one who knows exactly what happened on that dreadful day in 04 which took you from carer to killer.

'Since then you have done your level best to lie your way out of any responsibility.

'This indicates you have little or no remorse for what you did.'

Dunford's daughter Lucy was found dead in her bed at the family home in Camber, near Rye, East Sussex.

An original post mortem found that Lucy may have died from a sudden onset of a bacterial infection which led to her choking on her own vomit.

However, during a second examination this was disputed and the idea put forward that suspicious bruising on the tot's upper body may mean her airways had been compressed forcefully.

At the time Dunford claimed her daughter had been 'perfectly fine' earlier in the day but that she had been tired so she had put her to bed - she later told paramedics she thought her daughter had had a 'fit'.

After she had found her daughter Dunfold refused to ring the emergency services until she had spoken to her husband - whom she told 'it's happened again' in reference to Lucy's younger brother Harley who had been found dead in his cot six months previously.

Paramedics at Conquest Hospital in Hastings noticed two marks on her neck which had started to bruise and requested the attendance of police at the hospital.

Dunford was arrested in February 2004 and interviewed by police then and again in May.

Her case was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service who decided there was not enough evidence to charge Dunford with the murder of Lucy.

'This was a difficult and complex case that involved evidence from a number of medical experts.'

Simon Ringrose, CPS

But during her inquest in 2009 East Sussex coroner Alan Craze demanded the case was revisited.

The inquest threw up new information which had been given by medical experts in 2005 during a Family Court hearing into Lucy's death.

This information had not been passed on to the CPS. Dunford was then rearrested and charged in July 2011.

Prosecutor Sally Howes QC said during the trial that the inquest had 'excluded the likelihood' of a serious infection and found that injuries to the airways were consistent with an 'application of force'.

On July 12, 2011, Dunford was therefore rearrested and Ms Howes said she told officers: 'I have been waiting for this to happen.'

Dunford, 33, was arrested in February 2004 and interview by police then and again in May

During his sentencing Judge Brown told the court he took into account Dunford's 'childlike manner' and the 'long delay' in bringing the trial to court.

However he said courts have a duty to 'protect little people like Lucy from violence'.

Speaking afterwards, Detective Chief Inspector Nick Sloan, of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: 'There was a thorough police investigation at the time but the forensic evidence then did not support a prosecution.

'The death of Lucy was immediately treated as suspicious by Sussex Police. Her mother was arrested and interviewed and there was a thorough investigation.

'However, based on the information available at the time, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decision was that there was insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution.

'The CPS decision turned largely on reports from two pathologists, which were conflicting.'

Simon Ringrose, of the CPS, said: 'This was a difficult and complex case that involved evidence from a number of medical experts.

'The reinvestigation into the circumstances of Lucy Dunford's death included obtaining further medical evidence.

'This evidence effectively ruled out a natural cause of death and was consistent with Lucy having been suffocated.

'The only person who could have done this was her mother, Lesley Dunford.'

After the sentencing Wayne Dunford declined to comment.

New Morrisons plan submitted for centre - Swindon Advertiser

New Morrisons plan submitted for centre

7:00pm Wednesday 20th June 2012 in News By David Wiles

MORRISONS has formally submitted a planning application to build a new Eldene centre, with a large supermarket as part of a £15m redeveloment project.

Swindon Council has entered an agreement with the chain, which would build the centre on the former site of Dorcan House, in Dorcan Way, which is privately owned.

Morrisons held a public consultation on the project in May at Eldene Community Centre to explain the proposal and answer questions.

David Bevan, of Morrisons, said: “Six hundred people attended our recent public consultation and 97.78 per cent supported the proposed Morris-ons supermarket, while 94.44 per cent supported the creation of a new Eldene local centre.

“Local people welcomed the opportunity to have a new store to serve the south east Swindon catchment and the increase in choice and competition.

“A number of problems at the existing Eldene centre, including anti social behaviour, were highlighted to us, and people welcomed the opportunity for its renewal and relocation.”

Under the new development, which is subject to the application’s approval, the council would lift a covenant restricting the use of the land for offices only, to allow Morrisons to build a 25,000sqft supermarket with 250 car parking spaces.

The scheme, which would create about 250 jobs, would also include three smaller retail or commercial units alongside the superstore. The tenants at the existing parade of shops, with the exception of the Co-op, would be given first refusal to relocate.

There was originally supposed to be a fuel station, but Morris-ons says the site is not big enough to accommodate it. The scheme would also involve a new road access from the existing Dorcan and Hindle Way roundabout.

If planning permission is gained, the existing shopping parade owned by Swindon Council would be demolished and the council would work up plans for the site.

Speaking in May, council leader Rod Bluh (Con, Old Town), who used to represent Dorcan, said: “I’m delighted it’s going forward. As a Dorcan councillor it was an aim of mine in the eight years since I became one.

“It was obvious in 2004 that the centre needed to be replaced. I’m thrilled we’re moving forward on that and I see it as a really positive proposal for the Eldene and Liden area.”

And what does the Co-op say about this ? Morrisons mention competition with their new proposals.If the existing site gets demolished then this sounds like getting rid of the competition !! ? Another part of Swindon soon to be destroyed. I grew up in Eldene and enjoyed using the facilities at Eldene Centre. Why knock a perfectly good modern building. Perhaps it needs a spruce up ,but don't knock it down for the sake of Morrisons. Also I think the roundabout on Dorcan Way could'nt take another road . There is already that daft smaller roundabout further along put in place for Dorcan School !! Traffic lights would be better, like at St Josephs and the supermarket traffic should come out on Eldene Drive considering it is for the Eldene estate . greenpacer

Watford target Kuszczak joins Brighton (From This Is Local London) - This is london Calling

Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak joins Brighton and Hove Albion

9:49am Wednesday 20th June 2012 in Latest Sport

Watford target Tomasz Kuszczak has agreed to join Brighton and Hove Albion on a free transfer.

Kuszczak has known for some time that he would be released by Manchester United and joined Watford on loan for the final two months of the season, making 13 appearances.

The Hornets wanted to make the switch permanent but it always seemed unlikely they would be able to compete with other interested clubs when it came to wages.

Kuszczak told Brighton's website: "I have played Premier League football for eight years, with West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United, and I believe the structure is in place here to join them.

"The manager and coaching staff, the team, stadium, crowds, through to the plans for the new training ground, everything is geared up for playing at the highest level and I could sense that ambition to be a top club straight away.

"Also when I played against Brighton last season, while on loan at Watford, I was very impressed with the way the team played - it was totally different to the rest of the Championship and more like what I was used to at Manchester United.

"This team likes to pass the ball, they like to create, they are attractive to watch. The way Brighton play is the future of football. I had other clubs who wanted to sign me but my heart told me that this was the right choice."

Kuszczak has agreed a two-year contract and the move will be completed on July 1.

Then stating 'you should play in goal' is making yourself sound foolish, evidently he is not a goalkeeper. Also statistics show that we won more with kuszuzak in goal and just through watching each week you will realise he makes a minimum of two huge mistakes a game , which isn't good enough for a goalkeeper who isn't even young anymore. garston 'orn
