What is a 'leafy comp' 'good/outstanding comp'?

[MovingBack]

I see this term referred to on MN on lots of threads - what is the definition of such a school please? I can grasp the meaning (I think) but I'm not sure if it's metaphorical or there is in fact some objective criteria? Do posters mean they are Ofsted good/outstanding or something else? I've spent a lot of time living away and in my day a comp was the alternative to the grammar school but I'm not sure what they are when most areas don't have a grammar school these days? How will I know if my local schools fall into this leafy comps/good/outstanding category? Is it based on Ofsted or something else?

Apologies in advance if it really is just the Ofsted category they have been placed in rather than something more complex

Free school: school that can run around and is not in a fixed location."

Until it is finally trapped and put out of its misery by OFSTED.

Oxbridge - a place where well fed beasts crowd across to the finest pastures

Presumably one moves from a leafy comp to the Russell Group?

Russell Group
Cousin of Russell Brand who ended up with Katie Hopkins not Katie Perry.

Very good Hakluyt

Free school: school that can run around and is not in a fixed location.

Could also be "endangered species after General Election"

Ooh, yes, motherinferior - I love the leafy comp to Russell Group - but not until your Autumn years.

Ivy League - an alliance dedicated to the protection of climbing plants.

OFSTED - drunk and trying to say he's off his head.

A historical one:

Technical School - a school that technically should have existed, but didn't.

Conservatoire - an academic hothouse

Vocational school- a garage that really really wants to be a school.........

Surely a vocational school is a convent school?

Board schools specialise, obviously, in woodwork, floor-laying and similar Manual Trades.

and foundation schools, are obviously, by extension........

The extension pun was unintentional, but I like it.

Foundation schools are where you learn to do makeup properly.

Eton - a catering college
Harrow - an agricultural college

Grovel

Reform school - school made out of plasticine.

Eton - a mess.

Winchester- a school for snipers.

Westminster - a school for scandal

I'm imagining people all over the country, fingers poised over keyboards, racking their brains for school puns............

St Paul's - a school with letter writing on the curriculum
