“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Recently Tried in the Court of Public Opinion

In the Matter of Interference, Instruction, and the Irreplaceable Educator


🪞The Abolition of a Lawful Classroom

In re: Curriculum v. Carers

⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Archive

Filed Date: 14 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A11-EDUINTERFERE
Court File Name: 2025-07-14_Addendum_EducationInterference.pdf
Summary: Formal addendum asserting educational sabotage by Westminster Children’s Services and demanding the reinstatement of lawful, thriving home instruction.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic was home educating her four children lawfully under Section 7 of the Education Act 1996 — not as an act of defiance, but as a life’s ambition.

Her curriculum wasn’t makeshift. It was curated. Grounded in resilience, fieldwork, cross-disciplinary learning, and intellectual dignity. It was lawful, enriching, and documented — a model of ethical instruction.

Then Westminster arrived.

With no court order, no educational assessment, and no consultation, they dismantled the children's structured learning and replaced it with what can only be described as temporary, generic tutoring. A downgrade disguised as support.

The result?
Chaos. Confusion. And the unmistakable stink of assumption-based governance.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  1. Polly was delivering a fully legal and effective educational program, personally and consistently.

  2. Westminster imposed unauthorised educational substitution, grounded not in need but in bureaucratic arrogance.

  3. The children’s academic, emotional, and relational stability has suffered.

  4. The local authority has ignored the law — and the child.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because educational disruption without legal basis is not child protection — it is state interference by proxy.
Because a curriculum is not a care plan, and replacing lived pedagogy with unvetted “support” is not neutral — it is cultural erasure.
Because this was not a safeguarding decision. It was a power grab wrapped in policy-speak.

IV. Violations

  • Education Act 1996, s.7 – Parental right to suitable education

  • Children Act 1989, s.20 – No parental responsibility acquired; consultation required

  • ECHR, Article 8 – Family life and educational autonomy

  • UNCRC, Article 29 – Education must reflect the child’s values and developmental identity

As Bromley’s Family Law (2021, p. 640) confirms:

“Where educational provision has been previously suitable and consistent, it is not for the local authority to substitute its judgment without legal cause or evidentiary foundation.”

V. SWANK’s Position

We reject Westminster’s attempt to rebrand destruction as protection.
We reject their amateur hour pedagogy.
We reject their institutional theatre of “support” that destabilises while pretending to serve.

The mother was not failing. The system was.
And now, the system wants to make her children forget what learning felt like — and replace it with worksheets and surveillance.

We demand immediate reinstatement of parental educational authority.
We declare this a matter of educational negligence and civil overreach.
And we file this for the record. Because we educate. And we document.
