Bedales, the Independent School in Steep, with over 750 students, is backing legal action against the government over the practicalities and human rights issues around the 20% VAT levied on school fees, confirmed in the Budget on 31 October.

The Head of the School, Will Goldsmith, spoke to Mike Waddington about what Bedales provides and why its ideas around education have been presented to three Parliamentary Committees in the last year.

Will talks about supporting the community and how best Independent schools can 'pull their weight.'

He also talks about a Gala event for the Friends of Steep Church, to be held at Bedales on Saturday 9 November, 7:30pm, hosted by the BBC's Frank Gardner.

Will says its a great job to hold and the 'respectful but robust' challenge the schools ethos provides.

Can you name a famous event that happened during the reign of King James the First?

There is one event that everyone has heard of, and it happened in November. "Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason, and plot!" 

So why is Sky Watch concerned with the Gunpowder Plot? Thereby hangs a tale of 17th century intrigue with a connection to this show!

Every month Shine Radio presents a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.

Sky Watch is written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt and voiced by Claire Vennis from under the dark skies of Langrish.
