the number of immigrants gathering at Calais.

Trying before you're buying ` online. Why high street shops say

:00:40.:00:42.

changing rooms are full, but the cash registers are empty.

:00:43.:00:48.

The chance encounter at a Kent railway station that led to musical

:00:49.:00:51.

history. Good evening. Education in the South

:00:52.:01:08.

East has been put in the spotlight tonight after two dramatic

:01:09.:01:11.

announcements by the Departlent for Education. In Crawley, one of the

:01:12.:01:16.

first free schools in the country is to be shut down. And in Kent, two

:01:17.:01:20.

proposals for expansion of a grammar school into Sevenoaks have been

:01:21.:01:25.

rejected. In a moment we'll be getting details from our reporter

:01:26.:01:28.

Fiona Irving in Sevenoaks, but first let's speak to Ellie Price who's in

:01:29.:01:30.

Crawley tonight. `` first let's get Crawley tonight. `` first let's get

correct. In November last year, the Government change the law to allow

:01:44.:01:46.

extensions to existing grammar extensions to existing gramlar

:01:47.:01:47.

schools. These proposals they saw as schools. These proposals they saw as

:01:48.:01:52.

plans for a whole new grammar school, not the Amex they h`d been

:01:53.:01:54.

school, not the Amex they had been putting forward. They had to

:01:55.:01:57.

rejected because it will is illegal, but because the plans were without

:01:58.:02:02.

merit. This plot of land is where they had hoped to create a new

:02:03.:02:07.

annex. Plans have been in the pipeline for almost a year. Today

:02:08.:02:11.

the Government said the proposals were illegal. What Mr Gove would

:02:12.:02:13.

like to be able to say is wd rely to like to be able to say is we rely to

:02:14.:02:22.

help him get an application but they lawyers cannot argue over. Both

:02:23.:02:31.

Invicta Grammar School and Weald of Kent put forward plans. The

:02:32.:02:34.

Department of education said neither of the proposals which were put to

:02:35.:02:36.

them complied with the law. It is obviously disappointing that

:02:37.:02:43.

we will not get a new grammar school we will not get a new grammar school

:02:44.:02:50.

straight away. I discussed this with Michael Gove but he opened the door,

:02:51.:02:57.

and said that it has to be the same type of school as the sponsor

:02:58.:02:59.

schools. More than 1000 puphls schools. More than 1000 pupils

:03:16.:03:21.

needs a grammar school. It has a growing population and it used to

:03:22.:03:27.

have grammar schools and it is a long way for schoolchildren to

:03:28.:03:32.

trouble. It is creating a grammar school by a back door method. People

:03:56.:03:57.

community will support it. @nd we community will support it. And we

:03:58.:04:00.

have data to prove that. Today's news was a bitter blow for those

:04:01.:04:06.

fighting for it. Kent county council will now be

:04:07.:04:14.

looking to find a solution that is legal, working with the sponsor

:04:16.:04:18.

Grammar School or not. Looking at Grammar School or not. Looking at

sharing facilities and staff. If they want the annex to be

:04:24.:04:26.

coeducational, the sponsor school will have to have both boys and

:04:27.:04:32.

girls. Thank you very much. Let's cross now

unable to deliver at even the most basic level. A fairly damning

:04:45.:04:46.

assessment of what was a fl`gship assessment of what was a flagship

country. The letter from the schools Minister unequivocally damnhng it

and all those involved with the school but he went on, I will not

:05:50.:05:54.

allow a failing school to continue with no clear plan to improve

:05:55.:05:58.

rapidly. The school was put into special measures in May and it says

:05:59.:06:02.

it has not been given enough time to make changes. I think they are

:06:03.:06:07.

hanging us out to dry because they do not like the curriculum. It feels

:06:08.:06:10.

like they are looking for any excuse right now because the amount of

:06:11.:06:16.

work, people have tried to `ddress every single issue. One of the

:06:17.:06:21.

flagship policies, free schools set their own curriculum. This was one

:06:22.:06:27.

of the first 24 free schools in the country. It opened in 2011 and

:06:28.:06:29.

country. It opened in 2011 `nd today, it became the first to shut

:06:30.:06:34.

down. It would have been helpful if the department had monitored how

:06:35.:06:36.

Discovery New School was operating a Discovery New School was opdrating a

:06:37.:06:42.

bit earlier on. So that it did not get to such a critical stage when

:06:43.:06:46.

there have been unsatisfactory reports over the summer. I think had

:06:47.:06:48.

there been a bit more oversight by there been a bit more overshght by

:06:49.:06:52.

the Department for education, we might have avoided this sittation.

:06:53.:06:56.

might have avoided this situation. Save our schools!

Parents have been told they will be receiving helpful alternative places

communities have the power to run them with state money for

out`of`state control. The coalition says in the main, they are working

:07:26.:07:29.

but critics say that it is because of this autonomy that schools in

:07:30.:07:33.

this position are not given the support they need when the chips are

The migrant camp known as the jungle was bulldozed several years ago but

the problem has not gone away, instead smaller villages have sprung

up. Despite the lack of fachlities, up. Despite the lack of facilities,

every effort is made to turn these shelters into a home from home.

:11:59.:12:01.

the most expensive times of year with millions of us looking for the

:12:02.:12:06.

perfect gift. But some shop owners say although their shop floors are

:12:07.:12:13.

full, their tills are empty. One shop owner in Tunbridge Wells says

:12:14.:12:16.

she has so many people trying on dresses but then buying them online,

:12:17.:12:20.

that it's driven her out of business with some people even taking

:12:21.:12:23.

pictures on their phones to ensure they get what they want over the

:12:24.:12:30.

internet. Christmas shopping fever is well under way but not for

:12:31.:12:34.

everyone because in eight d`ys, Kim's shop will close for the last

:12:35.:12:39.

time. They might pop it down and you will see them doing something like

:12:40.:12:45.

this, possibly. The business has been going for ten years. Rdcently

:12:46.:12:49.

shoppers has been using the shop for research and then buying what

shoppers has been using the shop for research and then buying wh`t they

:12:51.:12:54.

want elsewhere. We are never rude, we go with it, we do our best and we

:12:55.:12:59.

hope that they come back because they have had the good servhce to

:13:00.:13:02.

they have had the good service to buy the shoes from us but that is

:13:03.:13:07.

not a guarantee any more. A survey found that one in ten shoppers

:13:08.:13:11.

bought from a competitor after comparing prices on a mobild phone.

:13:12.:13:12.

comparing prices on a mobile phone. Nearly 40% of 18`39`year`olds said

:13:13.:13:15.

they were actively showroomhng this Christmas. The study says

:13:16.:13:18.

showrooming accounts for 10$ of purchases this season which's ?500

:13:19.:13:19.

purchases this season which's ? 00 million in lost sales to high

:13:20.:13:30.

street. And of course, shopping online has been made easier with one

:13:31.:13:34.

of these. Many of us own smartphones and it seems the world is dhvided by

:13:35.:13:37.

and it seems the world is divided by those who showroom and thosd who

:13:38.:13:38.

those who showroom and those who don't. If you use the shop, you will

:13:39.:13:44.

have to use the service otherwise we have to use the service othdrwise we

:13:45.:13:47.

will not have a high street. If you use a shop, use one. I thought

:13:48.:13:54.

everybody did it, I thought digital uptake was enormous now bec`use

:13:55.:13:57.

everybody is going out and trying it out and then getting it online.

:13:58.:14:00.

everybody is going out and trying it out and then getting it onlhne. Do

:14:01.:14:02.

you feel guilty about that? Why would I feel guilty? I have done the

:14:03.:14:05.

reverse today, I looked at it online reverse today, I looked at it online

:14:06.:14:09.

and then went to the shop to try to get it. Funnily enough, thex didn't

:14:10.:14:13.

have it so they have ordered it in and I will pick it up tomorrow. I

:14:14.:14:17.

shop online sometimes but I stopped off doing that. But what I start of

:14:18.:14:24.

doing that. I would get it then and there if I saw it in my price range.

:14:25.:14:27.

People buy from people, it is there if I saw it in my price range.

:14:28.:14:28.

People buy from people, it hs a People buy from people, it hs a

human trait that we like to shop and we like people so if you get good

knowledgeable and they can help you try something on or give you

:14:38.:14:39.

try something on or give yot advertise or even tailor it, that

:14:40.:14:42.

will get people to stay and that will get people to buy. People say

:14:43.:14:47.

that shopping and Christmas go hand in hand but in 20 years frol now,

:14:48.:14:49.

in hand but in 20 years from now, how much of that will involve the

:14:50.:14:51.

high`street? We would like to hear from you on

:14:52.:15:00.

this. Is this something that shopkeepers will have to learn to

:15:01.:15:02.

shopkeepers will have to le`rn to live with? Do you do it yourself or

money online. Lots of you h`ve been money online. Lots of you h`ve been

joining in. A real divide, interesting. Paul says I often go

:26:26.:26:29.

into a high street shop, look at the price and then buy cheaper online.

:26:30.:26:36.

If shops slashed their prices, maybe people would buy in the high street.

:26:37.:26:41.

When the says people need to make it clear that they will match the

:26:42.:26:46.

price. A reduced sail on no sale. Kevin says it is wrong, shops have

to pay rates and that is why the to pay rates and that is whx the

differences exist. You by service differences exist. You by service

:26:56.:26:58.

charge people to take a photo and try it on so they at least get

:26:59.:27:02.

something even if it is not the sale. Derek says that those who buy

:27:03.:27:07.

online but try in shops beforehand are cheeky and self`defeating. If

you want shops to go out of business? And Trevor in New`rk says

shopping because of things turning up broken and not fitting properly
