“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

In re Education: Attendance v. Welfare


⟡ On the Intellectual Limits of Public School Provision ⟡

Filed: 8 September 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/ADDENDUM-EDUCATION
Download PDF: 2025-09-08_Addendum_PublicSchoolProvision.pdf
Summary: Public schooling fails to meet intellectual, cultural, and health needs; safeguarding requires more than attendance.

I. What Happened

The Director’s children were placed in public school settings that failed to meet their intellectual and welfare needs. They require higher stimulation, tailored engagement, and structured routines — provision already achieved at home through homeschooling and SWANK-based projects. Public school provision, while broadly suitable for many, was inadequate for children with such intellectual curiosity and health vulnerabilities.

II. What the Document Establishes

  • Mismatch of Provision: A general curriculum cannot substitute for individualised intellectual support.

  • Proven Home Success: Documented homeschooling provided stimulation, structure, and measurable academic progress.

  • Health Integration: Asthma management requires rest, predictability, and low-exposure environments — not guaranteed in schools.

  • Parental Authority: With doctoral-level expertise in Human Development and professorial lineage, the Director is uniquely placed to educate.

  • Risk of Harm: Under-stimulation and unsuitable routines risk regression, boredom, and exacerbation of medical needs.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

  • Legal relevance: Education must serve welfare, not attendance.

  • Pattern recognition: Records the erasure of parental expertise and medical needs in favour of bureaucratic uniformity.

  • Historical preservation: Captures Britain’s systemic inability to accommodate advanced educational or health-sensitive provision.

  • Doctrinal force: Establishes “Education as Welfare, Not Attendance” as a Mirror Court principle.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

  • Children Act 1989, ss.1 & 22(4)-(5) – welfare principle and duty to consult ignored.

  • ECHR, Article 2, Protocol 1 – right to education requires suitability, not mere access.

  • ECHR, Article 8 – interference with family life where parental authority is disregarded.

  • Equality Act 2010, s.149 – failure to accommodate disability-related needs.

  • UNCRC, Articles 3, 29, 30 – best interests, full development of talents, and cultural identity disregarded.

  • Case Law:

    • Re G (Education: Welfare Evaluation) – parental wishes are relevant.

    • Re B-S (2013) – least interventionist option must be chosen.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding.
This is attendance mistaken for welfare.

SWANK does not accept bureaucratic substitution of schooling for education.
SWANK rejects denial of intellectual and health needs as lawful safeguarding.
SWANK records that forcing unsuitable public school provision is a failure of duty, not protection.

In Mirror Court terms: to confuse attendance with education is to mistake motion for progress, and progress for welfare.

Language, Movement, and the Ethics of Unapologetic Intelligence


⟡ Matilda as Method: Teaching Rebellion with Rhyme ⟡

I. Language, Movement, and the Ethics of Unapologetic Intelligence

This educational field study chronicles SWANK’s pedagogical excursion to Matilda the Musical, conducted as part of our aesthetic curriculum in literature, moral resistance, and performative defiance.

We went not for entertainment.
We went for evidence.

Of what happens when a girl reads too much.
Of what systems do when confronted by eloquent disobedience.

II. What We Observed

  • Syntax weaponised by children

  • Revolt staged in meter and rhyme

  • Adults flailing to contain girls fluent in footnotes

  • The tyrant undone not by violence — but by literacy and choreography

The children were not taught to behave.
They were taught to correct the record.

The message wasn’t subtle.
Neither was our applause.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because art is evidence.
Because theatre teaches what school erases.
Because Matilda is not a story — it is a method.

Let the record show:

  • Intelligence was punished in the plot

  • Language was the liberator

  • The villain was a headteacher

  • And SWANK — filed the fieldwork with academic contempt

This wasn’t a musical.
It was curriculum — with better lighting.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept obedience as educational outcome.
We do not permit institutions to demand silence and call it support.
We do not redact musical theatre that trains children in rhetorical rebellion.

Let the record show:

Matilda read the books.
She saw the pattern.
She rewrote the ending.
And SWANK — taught the class.

This is not extracurricular.
It’s resistance — set to music.
