I think all St. David's parents, pupils, teachers and governors
should read the articles at these links:

Please read the articles, perform your own research, come to your own conclusions. Unlike some,
FoSD does not seek to impose control over all aspects of your being.

But in my opinion, St. James School and the so called "School of Economic Science"
which is behind it are clearly not  suitable "partners" for St. David's school.

In case you haven't followed the links yet, I'll quote a copule of points:

"The 2006 Townend report found that St James (and St Vedast schools) in London were directly run by the SES (SoES) for at least 20 years, and that during at least 10 of these children were mentally and physicallymistreated and 'criminally assaulted'."

" As well as the St James children's schools SES (SoES) 'sister'organisations have established a 'family' of private children's schoolsworldwide. The Plato children's school in Amsterdam closed in 2002,after two Police investigations into illegal physical punishments."

"The organisation was the subject of a critical expose by twoinvestigative journalists published in 1985 in the book 'the SecretCult', which criticised the organisation's views on the role of women insociety, and reported allegations of indoctrinating members, and being responsible for marital and family breakdowns."

"The School of Economic Science has also been criticised by church leaders, and monitored by anti-cult groups in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and Canada. The Belgian Branch was classified as a cult in a Belgian Government report in 1997."

Frankly is scares the hell out of me.
