Sir, — Once again at this time of year we see the same schools at the top of league tables. In my opinion, generally the position of a particular school is primarily determined by the ability of students’ parents to pay for grinds.
I would be really interested in knowing the percentage of students in the top performing schools who have received grinds.
Only then would we have a true understanding of the performance of schools. – Yours, etc,
