What The Good Schools Guide says..
Tiny sets at A level – often ones and twos – a rare privilege and at half the cost of the top tutorial companies. They will run an A level course with one pupil and don't ditch the subject – or its teacher – if it has no takers in a given year. ‘We do some gruesome stuff,’ chortled the dynamic and experimental head of art as we gaped at the ‘urban zombies’, the girl under a blanket of fresh minced steak and various startling depictions of blood and vomit.
