Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: The Grammar School/ High School system operates in this part of Warwickshire and until recently most of the High School children have had to carry their books with them wherever they went ("School bags", 3 February). The Grammar School children had proper lockers.

As a teacher of singing, I have found that many of my students who attend High Schools have difficulty in standing up properly during their lessons, whereas none of my students attending Grammar Schools have with this problem.
