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.REMEMBER Beresford House, the Bromley prep school whose future, I revealed last month, was threatened by Talisman, its management consultant owners? Parents were told last week that the school is to close and they have five weeks to decide whether to send their children to Braeside, another Talisman school a mile down the road, or find another.
Graham Hill of Talisman explains that falling rolls have rendered Beresford 'not viable, economically and educationally'.
Switching schools in the middle of the school year is one thing. But if all the Beresford children go to Braeside, there will also be more than 200 pupils at the school, compared with 106 two years ago. Doubtless this is what management consultants call maximising the overhead utilisation.
