There's a bit of talk on the town round by way (Guildford in Surrey) of some extraordinary goings-on.
From one 'girls' sixth form, that's trying to go co-ed offering almost free places for the boys to join.
To, scholarships wars between schools, that are upwards of 25%+ in some cases, and not for the very select few who would traditionally qualify, but for widespread numbers of DCs
Is this being seen across the County, South, the rest of Country?
Are these schools now of the mindset that 'a bit of some fees, is better than none at all', in times of difficulty for the sector, such as now.
