Priority is given to siblings, and to the sons and daughters of ex-pupils. School says this does not occasion resentment ‘because it’s transparent’. Clear belief that, so long as parents are invested, this is a school in which almost any child can thrive. ‘My daughter came from the state sector,’ said one parent. ‘There are no airs and graces here, but terrific values.’
