Our son is currently enrolled at a top private preparatory school in Ghana 🇬ðŸ‡.
My wife and I would very much like him to attend the Whitgift School which is a major private school in Surrey, England.
We have been warned that the school accepts relatively few BAME students, and that this is normal for the private schools in England, despite many elite schools being situated in relatively multicultural areas.
If there is a problem with access to BAME at the elite schools in England, why is this the situation and what if anything is being done to redress the imbalance? Why are the grammar schools full of BAME students yet we are sorely underrepresented in the fee-paying schools?
