Hello there,
You may have noticed that I have been M.I.A for quite some time, bu this is all for a great cause! My future career in PR! I have taken a huge leap of faith and decided that a career change at the ripe of 22 was needed. How have I come to this decision, I hear you ask? Well, after a long hard slog of freelancing and work placements I thought I would head over to the dark side and see what the work of PR truly is. I was very lucky in being offered a placement at Bite Communications, they were lovely and I learnt so much from them, I have to admit they made convert to the glam world of PR and I have not regretted it yet! Now I am at LEWIS PR and lovely the experience.
Just in case you missed my last piece of published journalism check out another Ten Best I had the honor of completing at the Independent. It is one of my favourite past times...food!! Enjoy!

Goodbye to my secret indulgence
We all know that the beloved institution that is Cadbury has been sold to America's own Kraft and with this goes many jobs as the Somerdale plant in Bristol will close by 2011.
This means that 400 jobs will be lost and all work will be transferred to Poland. This should not come as a suprise as from 2007 Cadbury explained that job loses were inevitable as they had planned for the plant to close before the takeover. In order to reverse the closure would be a costly deal as Cadbury had already invested more than £100million into building factory facilities in Poland. Irene Rosenfeld, chairman and chief executive of Kraft Foods, said: "It became clear that it is unrealistic to reverse the closure programme, despite our original intent to do so. While this is a difficult decision, we have moved quickly to end any further uncertainty."
The Somerdale factory merged with the Cadbury Brothers in 1919.
Love is in the air

Future bankers
HSBC taught year six pupils at a Ealing school about finance and banking.
Considering the current economic climate HSBC has taken it upon themselves to teach children about the world of banking through the School Bank Project. Pupils were interviewed for different job roles and taught about the profession. This abstract way of teaching has taken their education beyond the national curriculum and taught them real life skills.
Should this lesson be compulsory in all primary schools?

And the last place goes to...
Lottery or 'random allocation' has come under some scrutiny for not being 'fair.'
Your child's place could be down to pure luck. As this form of selection cancels out all social aspects including where you live or your child's ability. There are many disadvantages to this process, a child may end up traveling a 90 mile round trip to school, just like Alex Chatfield.
Ed Balls is the Schools Secretary who is against the lottery system and wants the chief schools adjudicator to review how useful it really is. The government designed it to make admissions for children more fair and to prevent discrimination, but Mr Balls believe this should be used only as a last resort.

Slave to the statistics
Nick Dorey of the Society of Headmasters and Headmistresses of Independent Schools describes how schools are more like 'boot camps.'
Secondary schools have become more concerned with league table results and positive statistics that some subjects are suffering due to the pressure of passing exams. The Cambridge Primary Review states that the arts, history and science have been the main victims in the bid to be the top school. Should schools allow subjects to suffer in order to pass tests? Nick Dorey calls for a "broad and challenging" curriculum.
