It was nearing the end of 1997 and I started researching information for my new job, which I imagined would be for two or three years. I am still here and the Family Grapevine is celebrating 20 years as a publishing group.

'Group' was a stretch of the imagination back then (there were 3 of us), but it has grown in more ways than I could have imagined. People have come and gone as is the way in any business, but many of the editors have been with the group for more than10 years and several run more than one area, making 21 editions across the country. Surely a positive indictment of job and group satisfaction!

To kick off celebrations this year, we have a fantastic competition in this issue from LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort, with a great prize for a family worth up to £750! Don't delay, enter now!

There are more wonderful competitions, editorial - some from businesses who have advertised since my first issue - and our new 'Snippets' dotted about. As always there are reader offers, vouchers, free trial classes and sessions being offered by many businesses. Have a good look through don't miss something that could be of interest!

I hope this year has started well and continues that way for you.

Did you know that using your food waste caddy helps turn fish bones into fertiliser, apple cores into energy and pizza crusts into power?

In fact, if the 83,000 tonnes of food thrown away in Surrey each year was collected from caddies, it would generate enough electricity to power 10,000 homes for a year, and fertilise enough wheat to bake 16 million loaves of bread.

Look How We’ve Changed!

In the past 20 years so much has changed, and Kingswood House has moved with the times.

The biggest, most significant change has been the development of an impressive new Pre-Prep Department, Junior Block and additional classrooms. These were officially opened by former pupil and world renowned architect, Lord Rogers in September 2014. These buildings replaced the old huts, which had been erected 20 years ago – now replaced by modern, hi-tech, warm buildings!

Part of this development saw the opening of the unique Study Centre in 2009 by Scottish International Rugby player Kenny Logan. Being dyslexic, he would have benefitted hugely from our expert Speech and Language therapists who work alongside Maths and Literacy Tutors, successfully supporting children with dyslexia and other learning difficulties.

Further exciting developments are planned in the form of a new swimming pool and new sports hall with various fundraising events in the pipeline.

Lord Rogers summed the school up nicely during his visit, “it was the most inspiring day meeting and walking around the school with the children and talking to the teachers. I was delighted to see how much the school had changed for the better since I had been there 75 years ago.”

Photograph John McMurtrie – Peter Brooks and Lord Rogers shaking hands in front of the new buildings.

Ripley Court is a successful, fully co-educational day school catering for children from 3 years (in the nursery) to Common Entrance and Public School Scholarship children at 13. It defies the current pushy Surrey trend by remaining small (280 pupils), by having an uncomplicated timetable with a broad base of subjects that allows children the opportunity to make excellent progress and yet gives them time to enjoy a childhood, and has high expectations of the children in terms of respect, kindness, manners and participation. Set in twenty beautiful rural acres in Surrey, just off the A3 near Wisley Gardens, it is one of those fascinating schools that combines the best of the new with the graciousness of the old.

For those parents who wish their children to be looked after carefully and for them to have a full chance at participation in all activities, a visit to Ripley Court is a must. Optional after school supervision for younger children means that they can be looked after all day (8am-5.30 pm) whilst enjoying the benefits of a first-class private education.

Financial help available for lessons or instruments The Christine Best Foundation is a charitable trust based in Weybridge. It was established by the late Christine Best in 2012, offering grants to organisations and disadvantaged individuals who can demonstrate a notable talent for music and who are situated within a radius of five miles of St. James’s Church, Weybridge, Surrey.

The application window for grants is currently open so if you know of a child or adult who could benefit from our support please visit our website for further information and to apply.

I have for the last 3 years been Home-schooling a small group of children who attend a Tennis academy on a full time basis. I use my knowledge of the curriculum to teach the children although different ages, according to their ability. It has it's challenges but has been thoroughly rewarding. My new business offers this service to parents in the area who are keen on Home education, but are tentative about moving completely away from the curriculum. I plan to involve the parents in deciding their children's curriculum. A school from home. My home.

I am not against the school system. I spent over 12 years learning my trade in the system and my own children are in that system. My experience has taught me that school is not suitable for all children. It is not a new concept but the home education community offers so many different approaches and groups for parents to make different arrangements and children to develop their social and educational skills.

What I propose is somewhere in the middle of the school system and Home-schooling.

Please see my advert on this page and contact Yasmin on 07876 348645

During her lifetime, Christine encouraged people of all ages and ability to develop a love of music and to enjoy the many benefits to be gained from performing, composing and listening to music.

Her intention was for the charity to continue her passion for bringing the local community together through music.
