Around Ealing magazine – September 2018

Around Ealing

24 August 2018

Welcome to the September 2018 edition of Around Ealing magazine. My son is starting school in September and the anticipation of the first day is a potent mixture of emotions: Pride, excitement, anxiety. I’m sure it will be a bittersweet cocktail tasted by families across the borough as they edge, each day, ever closer to that waiting school gate and a new little world.

Many older children will be embarking on big years themselves, punctuated by tests and exams and, all the while, having one eye on the future.

Talking of the future, so much in this edition of the magazine relates to long-term thinking: Embedding healthy habits for life; improving schools to help pupils’ prospects; finding a career path; or even bringing the old and young together to their mutual benefit. You could add to that the possibility of the borough map being redrawn.

Plenty to think about in there…
