hmm I have mixed feelings about this. I suppose to be honest ANY school is only as good as the teachers it employs. If a school has excellent teachers that engange well with young people then regardless of whether it is a private or local authority school the kids will do as well as they possibly can.

I know people who have paid for their children to go to private school only to withdraw them as they dont appear to be reaching their full potential in the stifling rules enforced upon them, yes I also know a couple who's daughter has more than exceeded at private school.

My daughters have gone/go to catholic schools and have both done very well. My youngest has just achieved level 7 in Science and Maths in her Key stage 3 SATS and is awaiting her English results which will come in the post this month. She will most likely have 2 GCSE's before she even goes into YR 11 as she is already working towards French and Art GCSE's.
