To think a prep school application requesting a family photo is a bit OTT?!

Or do lots of schools do this, state or independent?
I'm half tempted to send one of us all in shell suits and with cans of lager lying about.
It's actually put me off what I thought was a really great school and a brilliant alternative if we can't get into the fab - but hopelessly oversubscribed - state primary.

Why do they not have an introductory cheese & wine? That way they can cross out any children whose parents go for the block cheddar & Lambrini! Ta Dah

Bizarre. Every private school we applied for asked for a picture of our daughter, so they would recognise her at the assessment, but none for a picture of us.
