Good evening. A top London Catholic state school | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
has been heavily criticised over its admissions procedure. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The Schools watchdog says the London Oratory School was found to | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
have discriminated against pupils on the grounds of ethnicity | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
and social background. The secondary | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
in Fulham is where Tony Blahr and Nick Clegg sent their sons. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Our reporter, Sonja Jessup, joins us with more details. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
The findings were published today Absolutely. This, is, of course | :00:37. | :00:40. | |

over`described academy. Today it has been ordered to change its `dmission | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
been ordered to change its admission policy, following a complaint by the | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
British Humanist Association. The watchdog, the office of the Schools | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Adjudicator looked at its admission policy for this year and next and it | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
found the school had broken the admissions code in 105 areas. So, | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
for example, the school doesn't recognise parents who don't have any | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
faith and it also criticised the school for asking for the baptism | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
school for asking for the b`ptism certificates of parents because it | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
said that revealed too much information on them. But also, the | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
adjudicator compared the school to 12 other Catholic schools in London | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
and it found that the London Oratory had the highest proportion of white | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
British pupils and the lowest promorgues of non`white puphls. The | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
promorgues of non`white pupils. The adjudicator said, "I do not believe | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
that the school can claim that its ethnic composition is even | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
representative of that of the Catholic children attending schools | :01:40. | :01:40. | |
in the part of London in which it Catholic children attending schools | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
in the part of London in which it is located." The other thing it found | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
is that while the average ntmber located." The other thing it found | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
is that while the average number of children on free school meals was | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
23%, at this school it was 6%. Although it may be unintentional, | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
the adjudicator says it is effectively creating a degrde of | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
effectively creating a degree of social selection. What is the school | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
saying? They point out this isn't the fist time their admissions | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
policy has been criticised in this way. ` the first time. They say they | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
have successfully challenged it before. They say they may now seek a | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
judicial review. The British Humanist Association who made the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
original complaint, this is what they had to say. The most | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
significant findings have to be the fact that the school is both | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
racially and socially econolically racially and socially econolically | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
selective as a result of its admissions policy. We are not aware | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
of a school discriminating in both of a school discriminating in both | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
those ways before. So we ard of a school discriminating hn both | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
those ways before. So we are pleased the adjudicator will look at that | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
and take things seriously. Today's findings aren't about whether faith | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
schools can be selective. It is about whether they adhere to the | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
admissions rules that are in place. In this case, of course, thd school | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
was found to have broken a large number of them and to not be | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
representing the local community. Thank you for bringing us | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
up`to`date. House prices in London have risen by | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
a record annual rate of just over 20% according to figures released by | :03:06. | :03:07. | |

enough about the soaring cost of property. | :03:23. | :03:23. | |

year ago, 350. Now you are looking around 475. What do you think about | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
this? Well, good for us, good for business. But not so good for people | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
who don't yet own homes. Today the mayor was in Catford, helping to lay | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
the foundations for a development on the site of the old dog track. He | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
wants more power to release land like this for development, which he | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
says will help increase the supply of homes, and mean more affordable | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
housing. The answer is not to hang around hoping for house prices to | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
fall. The answer is to increase supply. On this site there will be | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
almost 600 new homes H 113 for affordable rent. 60 for shared | :04:59. | :04:59. | |
ownership but some say the mayor ownership but some say the layor | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
isn't doing enough. I think it is very sad that you have people | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
working very hard who are scraping together money every month to try to | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
save for a deposit and every month the dream seems to get pushdd | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
further and further away. The question now is ` what will happen | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
next? With some people hoping for a continuing boom, but others wanting | :05:27. | :05:27. | |
only a bust. Michael Adebowale, one of | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
the men convicted of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich in May | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
last year, has been given permission to appeal against his sentence. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Adebowale was jailed for life with minimum of 45 years for his part | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
in running over the young soldier and then attacking him, along with | :05:51. | :05:51. | |

Today we got to 26 or 27 in London. Through this week, it is going to | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Through this week, it is gohng to become hotter and hotter. A pretty | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
warm evening out there to enjoy at the moment. As we go through, I | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
don't think it will be quitd the moment. As we go through, I | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
don't think it will be quite as close and muggy as last night. There | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
will be a fair amount of cldar close and muggy as last night. There | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
will be a fair amount of clear sky, will be a fair amount of clear sky, | :06:43. | :06:44. | |

tomorrow which will lift temperatures. There is going to be a | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
fair amount of cloud into the afternoon. A weak weather front | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
which might introduce enough instability to the hot and humid air | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
to produce one or two showers as the day goes on, because we are talking | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
about temperatures of 27 or maybe 28 tomorrow. If we see the showers, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
they will be late afternoon and evening and affecting mainly | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, up into Hertfordshire. On the outlook, two | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
more hot days. By Friday we could be hitting 31 or 32 Celsius. It looks | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
like we'll get heavy thundery rain to finish that off on Saturday. A | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
tricky situation. Matt will explain more. And he will tell you that it | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
didn't rain today. The outlook for the next 40 days | :07:33. | :07:45. | |
will be straightforward to St swith an were to be believed. Thankfully | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
for my job at least, it is far from straightforward. Even after today, a | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
dry day, weather is on the turn in Northern Ireland and Scotland. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Around western coastal hills of England and Wales turning misty with | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
light rain and drizzle. For most a dry night with clear skies. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Temperatures a degree or so down on last night. A warm start to | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Wednesday. Early risers in Northern Ireland may get wet but turning | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
brighter here with one or two heavy showers. Rain spreading across | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Scotland through the morning, hit and mist. A dry and bright start for | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
many in England and Wales. Low cloud in the Midlands. This will thicken | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
during the second half of the day to bring outbreaks of rain. | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
Temperatures across the north and west are in the high keens or low | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
