“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

RBKC v. Chromatic: On the Right of a Prince to Learn in Peace

⟡ Pedagogy for a Prince: The Strategic Cultivation of Literacy, Flexibility, and Cultural Dexterity ⟡

Or, How One Child Dances Between Bloom’s Taxonomy and a Chessboard While Avoiding State Interference

Filed: 1 January 2024

Reference Code: RBKC-HOMEED-2024-PRINCE-CURRICULUM
Court File Name: 2024-01-01_Court_Form_RBKC_PrinceBonneAnnee_HomeEducationProvision.pdf
Summary: Polly Chromatic presents a comprehensive education report for her son Prince, revealing a curriculum of immersive learning, interdisciplinary rigour, and physical grace — one that is more robust, imaginative, and socially attuned than the borough’s own offerings.

I. What Happened

When RBKC requested details of Prince Bonne Annee’s home education, Polly Chromatic delivered a document so detailed, multi-modal, and narratively rich that it should be archived in the British Library.

Key features:

  • A progressivist educational model grounded in thematic, project-based learning.

  • Emphasis on critical thinking, democratic values, and collaborative exploration.

  • Literacy developed via annotation, journaling, literary reflection, and real-time oral analysis — while reading A Bear Called Paddington with aplomb.

  • Numeracy taught through a blend of phalange counting, visual-mathematical translation, and economic logic, including real-life arithmetic with money, grouping, and spatial logic.

  • Bloom’s taxonomy forms the spine of assessment, with progress gauged through creation, synthesis, and eloquent debate.

II. What the Submission Establishes

  • That Prince is being raised in a complete educational ecosystem, where knowledge is both constructed and embodied.

  • That Polly Chromatic delivers more instructional clarity and intellectual consistency than most state schools — all while also running chess club commutes and talent agency obligations.

  • That RBKC is being asked not to approve Prince’s learning — but to admire it.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this document is not merely a compliance form — it is a sovereign declaration of pedagogical dignity.

Because Prince is learning to read and reason, to dance and debate, to annotate and engineer — while also mentoring his siblings and mastering card games.

Because institutional scrutiny cannot comprehend a home where Pokémon, philosophy, and paragraph structure coexist with musical fluency and gymnastics excellence.

Because SWANK does not just log compliance — we archive superiority.

IV. Violations (of orthodoxy, not law)

  • Prince’s education violates bureaucratic expectation by outperforming public curriculum without using it.

  • It refuses compulsory exams while fulfilling every learning objective — thereby unmasking the redundancy of institutional gatekeeping.

V. SWANK’s Position

Prince is not merely homeschooled.
He is court-schooled — surrounded by thematic units, sovereign debate, daily critical thought, and physical strength.

He learns through theatre and chess, math and music, robotics and reflection.

Polly Chromatic is not simply a mother. She is an academic sovereign raising philosopher-kings in Kensington.
