Article in today's Sunday Times about intensive tutored courses at Easter. Am I being naive in thinking that for those attending such a school as Epsom College (private, academically selective if not highly, not cheap), or indeed any good secondary school, this should not be necessary to achieve a decent grade. I realise in the grand scheme of 15 years of education £350 or so is not huge if it gets the required result and secures a place on the desired course. However are these kids likely to be the ones who scraped in, perhaps with tutoring at 11/13+, or is this type of tuition rife amongst all abilities ?
