I went to the local co ed comp. Biggish school, with loads of streaming and setting. In a large predominently council area. Had its own sixth form.

I went on to do a BEd (hons) degree at Manchester Met.

DH also went to co ed comp, but in a better area. Much smaller school. No sixtj form - he came to the one at my school. Was were we met.

He went on to do Law at Nottingham Trent. Now a solicitor, doing pretty well

naaaaah

Though I did go to state 6th form after being kicked out

Imperial College

State - girls grammar school (pre-comprehensive in our area) then mixed 6th form college - 4 'A's at A level, 1st class hons in Physics, PhD...

Dh also state educated - mixed comp - also 1st class hons degree and PhD.

So I guess state worked for us.
