of God. If I can bless a car, if I can bless an animal, if I c`n bless | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
someone's watch or ring, anx inanimate object, why can't a bless | :02:38. | :02:40. | |

Four men have also been arrdsted in London. A West Sussex secondary | :03:02. | :03:08. | |

College in Burgess Hill are not achieving their academic potential, | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
because of poor quality teaching and inadequate leadership and | :03:17. | :03:35. | |
management. The first phase of Lydd airport is under way in Kent. The | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
expansion plans were opposed by wildlife and environmental | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
campaigners who say it will damage the area. Controversial plans to | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
create the first new grammar school places for 50 years have received a | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
major setback. Kent County Council's been backing campaigners in | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Sevenoaks who say grammar school places are desperately needdd there. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
But when the Weald of Kent grammar school in Tonbridge offered to | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
create a satellite site, thd Government said an all`girls school | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
could not run a mixed`sex annexe. And now parents at Weald of Kent | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
have voted against plans to make the entire school mixed`sex. Lucinda | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Adam has the details. It is a mathematical equation that no one | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
seems able to solve. How do you create more grammar school places so | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
there are enough for everyone who passes the 11`plus when the | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Government won't allow any new grammar schools to open? Thd Weald | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
of Kent Grammar School for Girls thought it had found a solution ` | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
offering to create a second school site in Sevenoaks, but the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Government said the whole school would have to become mixed `nd this | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
week parents voted against that plan. The idea was it was going to | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
be a co`educational school `nnex at Sevenoaks with a 780 additional | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
places, of which half would be for boys and half would be for girls. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Now, if we lose half of the girls places here then overall, once the | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
school was fully up and running there would be no additional places | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
for girls. It is a concern to us as governors, as well as those | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
expressed by parents. Last June it was revealed the Weald of Kdnt and | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Maidstone's Invicta Grammar were bidding to set up a satellite site | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
in Sevenoaks. Then at the end of last year the Government rejected | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
both proposals, saying neither complied with the law. But ht looked | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
like there was still hope when the Weald of Kent Grammar revealed plans | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
to become co`educational. In Sevenoaks today the demand for | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
places was clear. Every kid are you know dreaming to go to gramlar | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
school. So it's important. Especially here locally. I think | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
it's very important. My son goes to school in Sevenoaks. In six or seven | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
years he's going to need to go to secondary school, I don't rdally | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
want him to have to travel `ll the way to Tonbridge every day or | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
further potentially. Is gralmar better than the state? I thhnk it | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
depends on the teachers ulthmately and the ethos of the schools. But | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Kent County Council says all is not lost. Can you find a way in which | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
you do move along the lines of what was suggested, but ensure qtite | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
explicit my that that includes extra girls places, but not all the new | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
places are simply boys' places. It may be possible to do something on | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
that. With all 16 grammar schools here single sex, councils h`ve a lot | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
of work to do to convince ehther a girls' school and a boys' school do | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
work together, or to convince one school and its parents to go | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
co`educational. Time now for the weather with Rachel. I keep hearing | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
that it's going to be a nicd, warm weekend, is it? | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
I have got good news it will be warm and sunny. Temperatures close to 20 | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
degrees and it will stay drx and feel warm with plenty hazy sunshine. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
Tonight dry with clearer skhes and lighter wind, so some mist `nd fog | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
patches. Lows around six degrees. More cloud around initially, but any | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
mist and fog burns back and it will be a bright afternoon with | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
temperatures up to 19 kegs `` degrees. We have a south`easterly | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
flow around 10 to 10mph. But a mild breeze. Staying dry and mild with | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
lows of eight or nine. Any list and fog burns back and in the afternoon | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
temperatures around 19 degrdes. Here is an outlook in the south`dast with | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
a look at the national forward on Saturday night. Now here | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
is Nick Miller with the national forecast. | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
Hello. The clocks go forward this | :07:42. | :07:42. |
