Dumped in a ditch at just six weeks old, Max seemed lifeless when

he came to us. It’s hard to believe someone cared so little for this

hypercalcemia. If left untreated, Max could have died. We were

Maitlis stalker denies

breaching 2009 order

Education

Off -rolling blamed as

10,000 pupils ‘vanish’

Royals

Harry to see mother’s

anti-landmine legacy

A man who stalked the BBC
television presenter Emily Maitlis
for more than 25 years is to stand
trial, accused of sending a letter to
mother to pass on to her. Edward
Vines has pleaded not guilty to
breaching a 2009 restraining order.
The 49-year-old, who is
representing himself, followed
proceedings through a hearing loop
in the dock at Nottingham crown
court yesterday. The charge alleges
that Vines acted in breach of the
restraining order between 7 and 16
May by writing a letter to Marian
Maitlis to pass on to her daughter.
Vines was jailed for 45 months
in January 2018 for continuing to
breach his restraining order by
writing to the Newsnight presenter
from prison and his bail hostel.
Judge Gregory Dickinson QC
remanded him into custody at the
end of the hearing. PA Media

More than 10,000 pupils in England

vanished from schools during GCSE

courses, Ofsted has said, raising

fears schools are still off -rolling

pupils to improve exam results.

Its analysis found 20,000 pupils

had left or moved state schools

between years 10 and 11. But Ofsted

said 51% could not be traced to

other state schools, meaning they

had joined private schools or were

meant to be home educated.

The data showed about 340 out of

3,500 mainstream state secondar ies

were responsible for more than

one in fi ve departures, up from

300 last year. “The increase ... does

not necessarily mean off -rolling is

increasing. There may be legitimate

reasons [but] the increases do

warrant further consideration.”

Parents often opt for home

schooling after pressure from school

leaderships. Richard Adams

Prince Harry will make a “signifi cant

and poignant” visit to Angola to

pay homage to the anti-landmine

work of his mother, Diana, Princess

of Wales, during a major tour of

Africa, Buckingham Palace said

yesterday.

Sam Cohen, the duke’s private

secretary, said: “In a particularly

signifi cant and poignant journey,

▲ Princess Diana, who campaigned

against landmines, in Angola in 1997

the Duke of Sussex will have the

opportunity to return to Angola

to see fi rst hand the legacy of his

mother the late Diana, Princess

of Wales, whose visit to Huambo

in 1997 helped raise awareness of

the threat posed by landmines to

communities and livelihoods.

“The work of the late princess,

and commitment to this issue,

changed global opinion. ”

Diana walked through a cleared

minefi eld in Angola in 1997 to

highlight the plight of those maimed

by military munitions. PA Media
