Now we knew that we were going to move to London, D. and I began all over again searching for a secondary school that would adopt a policy of anti-racist awareness.

After a bit of research, D consulted the Leicester Council for Community Relations.  They in turn consulted a helpful contact in London who told us about one school that had devoted a lot of thought and resources to this matter.  It was well known for its enlightened approach. They welcomed all children and honoured their roots and background.

 We resolved to try and get Sam into that school. It was in North West London.  The school choice governed where we looked for a house. The church denomination said how much we could spend on a house and they did not mind where it was, as long as it was in London.

So at least we knew where to begin looking.  The search was on in North West London.

To be continued. . .
