Having had family go to the particular school, and I have very close friends children at Esmes school now. I disagree with this, the schools results are equal to a good state school. They let anyone in and stay on to keep the fees.The private schools do not just take the fees. They have their reputations to uphold and are judged on academic, art and sports achievements. A level results are paramount to the schools attracting parents of new pupils and the league tables. Admittedly not all the children can progress as well as the school assessment process tries to predict. The school would hope that with the obvious benefits of small class sizes and more intensive teaching methods Isabelle and Esme could flourish. Unfortunately their attendance is so sporadic and so little time is spent on homework/projects this is unlikely to happen. With such woefully inadequate and uneducated parents there seems little hope. It will be interesting to see what happens with brat child Isla in September. It is unfair she is not at the same school. I understand she wasn’t keen but it is not a choice for the child to make. They should all be treated the same.
It’s full of “new money” types. It does have excellent sports facilities though!
