Did you know it is means tested?

Great school I have heard

Brilliant school. I dated the captain of the rugby team. Sigh.

Grim uniform though.

"As the parental contributions are assessed according to each family's income, nobody is denied this remarkable opportunity. "

This comment would suggest that it is means tested, yes.

Friend of dh's went there and loved it.

How is it funded?

AOL they want children from abroad.

did cod go? She hated it?

Charity.

Mymate pays 240 per year

Not so keen on the uniform - what is it round their neck?

Yes, but cod went ot girls part. All very different now I believe.

That is interesting about children from abroad.

and not for uber bright either.

they sit a test and spend the night - kindness is important so I have heard

bump

and yo hated>?

i ahted it but it was the girls shcool which shut in 1986

the settgin for hte boys school is in horham and its HUGE adn fantastic
my sister has a mate who teahces there and i htink behaviour has gone down hill recnetly
it was VEYR VERY stict in my time like LOwwood in hayne eyre

sister nad brother got scholarhsips

the girls shcool was amazingly academically succesful - ny tow friends fomr there are both SERIOSU academics one heading towars being a professor and if oyu dont haev a phd you are no one

very musical still it hink - we used to haev to march to sunday lunch fgs to a band.
still tries to blag money off me.

lots of kdis form lower incomes go.
weird uniform that is provided

oh youll loev this

but now they don't just take those who are uber clever, they weant a mix - so I have heard

Did you see Rock School Beety? That was there (well, one series) with Gene Simmons trying to turn classical music students into a rock band.

i won't be goinng or my kids but would love a school that had a theatre. we have a hall which is shite

yes I saw that. apparently before rock school they had 500 kids for 110 places, now more I guess

oh and id say they were then adn still are VERY VERY godo at blowing their own trumpets

lot sof famous "old blues" as old timers are clled
coleridge, leigh hunt
etctec barnes wallis

it wasnt uber clever then
t he girls shcoolw as( course)

your ds woudl walk it im sure
tehy also used ot haev a scheme where a governor woudl sponsor a kid - an " almoner" i think
i did leave when iwas 14 so cant rememebr

id never send my kdi tbh

no no no I am not senidng my kids.

they are happy with me

just thought it was interesting that it is a private school that is means tested but without haveing to be specialist
