What do people think about this?

theoretically I agree with the premise.

practically , I worry that with everyone else having gcse results, it will disadvantage LU students when applying for universities.

When prep schools don't do SATs or follow national curriculum it's not a good thing. Been there - son switched to local school and was really behind on maths. Taught us that 3 full afternoons of sport in years 3 and 4 was madness. So, obviously, I think not taking exams everyone does is also madness. Who is the policy aimed at? Academic children are not served by it and less academic children risk leaving school à la Lady Diana Spencer circa 1977

Well said
